I really wish Microsoft would just drop this and go back to buy independent studios. I see the why they want Act/Blizzard but I don't think it is worth the hassle (nor the money).

MS already owns so many studios (23) and are sitting on goldmine of IP's. I'd rather them invest in their own internal studios and hone them in than randomly buying studio's. We've hardly had many first party releases from MS this generation and we're already approaching 2.5 years into Series X/S release.

They don't need ABK to compete in any way or form. Just focus on making good games and have a good release schedule. If they can't, well thats another issue.

Do you feel that Sony doesn't need any more studios either?
