Many of the Rare employees id not want to be involved with MS and jumped ship, they bought the Rare name like how they bought Minecraft etc MS could take some blame in relegating an almost 1/2 billion dollar company to making Kinect games

Rare wanted out from Nintendo hence they were looking for buyers, Rare got shuffled in with Kinect because Rare wasnt doing that great on the gaming front.

The truth is... Microsoft never displays any finesse and competence when it comes to acquiring studios/franchises and in managing them. If anything, buying a past glory days Rare, fail to build on the name and make the best of it, is just a little piece of proof in a bigger picture.

Well theres no proof in how much money MS invested in Rare however look at the chances Rare had before the Kinect era? They made half a dozen games and half being old Rare IPs and the others being new IPs.

Those games didnt look low budget at the time. Heck some of the old Rare games look like they were built for the WiiU, a more powerful system.
