Bold.

In regards to it getting blocked ( speaking of folks repeating themselves ), you're not going to get that wish. It isn't going to be. Concessions will be made, but things will go through. Nothing is stopping Microsoft from doing the very things you asked for regardless. 

I fail to see what is the point you are trying to make here. Sony bought independent studios instead of building them from scratch. Whatever their reasonings to do it.. whatever process they used to do it.. at the end of the day, Sony bought independent studios instead of building them from scratch. These studios were free to work with any other publishers (and they literally did that before, including with Microsoft) now they are not.

The Bungie agreement meant they remained independent despite being a subsidiary of SIE. This isn't the case for either Housemarque nor Insomniac. Of course they were all bought for a reason, just not the same reason. Bungie will continue to self publish its own games, meaning what they make will appear on other platforms (i.e. working with other publishers, namely console makers).

Besides, who said that every studio needed to be built from scratch? I certainly didn't and don't see anyone else who did.
