Better to build studios than acquire them esp with MS's reputation |
Well that’s highly debatable. A ground up studio like The Initiative takes years of hiring and setting up. Years MS does not have to impress gamers.
It makes sense to acquire studios that have talent and at the right price. Like Obsidian and Ninja Theory, two studios that make amazing games but both needed financial security
And I think MS finally learned from the past as they promised to leave their devs creative freedom to make what they want. I imagine the only things MS would intervene with is setting rough deadlines and adding minor things like a Halo skin in Sea of Thieves for example
Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.
