Yeah I’ll never understand this weird obsession people have with using Rare as an example of MS bad coz last time I checked SoT is the most successful game Rare has ever done so in hindsight by their own logic, Nintendo was bad for them.

Can't it be both though.  Sea of Thieves can be their best game, but at the same time in a 7 year span they released 3 SNES Donkey Kong Country games, 3 Donkey Kong Land games,  2 Killer Instinct, 2 Banjo games, Ken Griffey Baseball, Blast Corps, GoldenEye, Diddy Kong Racing, Jet Force Jemini, Mickey Speedway, Donkey Kong Country 64, Pefect Dark on both N64 and GBC, and a few more Gameboy Color games.  Most of those games were bangers at the time.

Back when it only took 10 people to make a game lol. 16 people developed DK64 over the course of 3 years, a game known for how huge it is and 8 people in the games later stages of development. Rare was so big that they had a ton of teams to work on different games simultaneously. I personally wouldn't be surprised if developers worked on multiple games at the same time instead of focusing on 1 project. 

Compare that to today where we consider it a miracle if 500 developers can get a game out in 3 years. 

Also, people love to overlook Viva Pinata lol. I personally loved Kameo as well.
