Now THIS ONE really pisses me off. I was day dreaming about Hitman 2 the last couple of days. Really enjoying it, but didn't have the chance to play it. Now I kinda want to eject the disk and soak it in bleach. The very idea.....I nominated IO for the developer tournament! I'm just going to assume this is happening, and that IO, who I have likely referenced as my favorite developer of all time more than any other ( it fluctuates a bit ), is now lost to me forever. Great way to start the day. #eatshit #hashtag #poundsign

Why do so many people become upset when Microsoft aquires studios but we rarely see the same level of anger when Sony or Nintendo does likewise?

As a PlayStation fan, I agree. People didn't hype Hitman 2 and now its failing in sales while people still aren't buying it with its good reviews.

I'd say good for Microsoft on buying a quality developer. Sony needs more competition and I'll be able to play their games on PC anyway.

If Sony wants to compete, they should buy other developers. They shut down two of their revered first party racing game developers and it has bit them in the behind now. The only reason they were in a strong position was that both their competitors stuck to a niche and never got varied games. That might now change for Microsoft.
