If microsoft go acquires in japan what if they go after level 5 and sega , even tho i wished they would acquire mistwalker and buy out tri ace from squareenix even tho that wouldnt happen

Tri-Ace has a parent company they are not owned by SquareEnix, Level-5 hate MS due to cancelling their game for the original Xbox despite the game being practically finished. Platinum Games and Cyberconnect2 are the only real Japanese AAA independent studios that I can realistically see MS acquiring, others would be Bokeh, Arcsys, MediaVision, and JP Games but those are way less likely imo.

I don't see any path for MS growing in Japan without acquiring a Publisher.
