Microsoft xbox one will be the first console to be able to play the game just like Minecraft. This game is very popular just like minecraft and Microsoft showed off this game at e3 just like Minecraft. Mike Yabara and the team seems to be very interested in this game. This is also a games as a service (the genre Microsoft likes).

Nah, I don't think it will happen. They'd need to pay him a LOT of money if they want him to ignore 60-100 million consoles.Game will come out on PS4 probably early 2018 anyway.

Lol at this point I wouldn't be surprised. That's all Microsoft can really do anymore to stay competitive. Lol while I'm taking this with a grain of salt, I'm not ruling out that Microsoft would do it. Microsoft has been known now for notable purchases of established ips. 

They could, if it makes a lot of money, and by that I mean making $ with microtransactions.

But there seems to be a different game like this popular every year: first it was that DayZ game, than H1Z1, then Ark, then Conan or something, now PUBG so I think if they were interested, they'll wait if it's still popular a year, or 2 from now.

Even if they did. It would kill that game and also hurt their own State of Decay 2.

Does Microsoft even own the ip to state of decay? I thought the deal was just a publishing partnership. 

Yeah probably. Just saying they already have something and it's not good to compete with yourself. 

The games leaving early access by October.

OP- i doubt they will buy it unless it reaches Minecraft popularity,

Ark is an early access game and it is on playstation. So, this is not true.

It wouldn't be wise for bluehole go along with that if they wanted to stay independent and maintain creative freedom. MS would be better off investing into building new studios, developing new IPs/exclusives because they're output is horrible.
