Norion said: Though the one huge positive is they did manage to get Activision Blizzard in the end so shifting towards being a publisher and putting less importance on console hardware going forward is probably the right move long term. |
Maybe, but Microsoft didn't need to pay $70bln (or whatever it was) to be a games publisher. They could have just hired some devs.
At $70 a game, they need to sell a lot of games to make that money back... And although people say: "they bought the IP" or "the back catalogue", punters have already bought those games, so MS still need to make new games to sell...
