The problem with everyone's statement against the purchase is, now you've made it clear that you think MS should simply never buy up any new developers and become a better first party studio themselves because you think that will be the end for those developers. Clearly Phil Spencer is trying to change MS stigma of, "lack of good first party studios and games." How are they suppose to do that if they don't get at least some quality developers? It seems like it's a lose-lose situation for some of you, which is a bit annoying honestly for those that do want to see MS get better.

Right, so it's "annoying" for you that some of us don't want to see an IP and studio being snatched up and locked down tight to a platform and a crappy storefront, with a completely50/50 chance of dying?, right....

 

I find it more annoying thart you people that only live and breath MS, cannot think that MS could just I dunno, CREATE their own content, CREATE their own studios. No need at all in any point, past present or future to tell me "MS doesn't do it's own thinking", because it frigging has to in order to actually compete, rather than just literally buying up everyone else's ideas an concepts and spamming them without anything creative to show of their own.

Seriously, I'd be more for the company if they actually decided to pull their weight and go for full on unique studios of their own and unique P's, fully crafted by their own fully crafted studios, because that honestly shows far more effort than simply being a lazy rich kid and throwing money at your problems. No way on earth should we coin it as a rule that the rich kid getting more glory than the kid with honest to god talent and creativity of their own mind. Don't give a crap where you were raised, it's just bullshit to think that way.
