Top 5 MS studios:
- 343i (Cause Halo and Halo 5 gameplay is my favorite of the series and Infinite looks promising)
- The Coalition is the best Unreal Engine devs and I love Gears.
- InXile, they are the RPG warlocks and can’t wait for their next project.
- Bethesda Conglomerate - their games speak for themselves.
- PlayGround will be the best MS studio if they knock out Fable off the park. FH is the best franchise atm.

Everybody is asking MS to buy Sega but MS just needs to get Larian Studios to keep guardianship of their asymmetrical RPGs, while their big studios grow; also, a sports studio to really make the Xbox division a must.
Sammy Holding wouldn’t sell Sega to Microsoft.

Yeah those RDR as a RDR2 dlc rumors sounded too good to be true. I wouldn't mind a remake BUT if you have Xbox One X, RDR is enhanced to 4k, it looks and plays really well. Worth playing again.

At this point I want Microsoft to buy everything under the sun and play the final scene of 'There Will Be Blood' where Phil Spencer is Daniel Day-Lewis and Sony is the poor preacher.

I think a partnership with SEGA would be more beneficial. Let them deal with marketing it in Japan. And have all their games (Atlus too) on Xbox. Maybe even some for Gamepass. Games like Persona are too valuable to stay exclusive.

Just to play devil's advocate, if MS allowed Sega to continue operating as a semi-independent company, as they say they're doing for Bethesda, then it doesn't really matter if it's a partnership, or a buyout, because MS would likely let Sega handle marketing over there regardless.

Still don't think I buy into all this Sega smoke personally though. Then again, what do I know....I also didn't for a second imagine MS would ever buy Zenimax. 

No I feel that. Guess we'll have to wait and see. And yeah I'm still reeling from Bethesda. Like it's still surreal to me that they did that. 7.5 billion... 

And they looking to buy more. I'm guessing the few others might be Asobo and Bloober? I think it is. Who knows though. 

@shikamaru317 lol Probably doesn't mean anything though :)

Been thinking about an interesting approach: what do you guys think about gamepass exclusives? Games only available through gamepass subscription. Do we already have any of that?

Melissa McGamePass LOL This is hilarious. Wonder what it can be tho.

Okay, I give it to Microsoft. While I was always disappointed by their PR in the past... Lately, they are killing it...

Also Executive Senior VP Lieutenant of General Video Game Communications.. quite a title hmm. Anyone cracked this yet?

Hyped for the Series X previews. Did anyone say when the embargo is?
