That's why the MS acquisition spree was nothing to be excited about in the first place.
MS 1st party floundered for a decade, but them scooping up all these studios was supposed to be a good thing, somehow. Because the head of Xbox wore a Hexen t-shirt, I guess.
Never understood the people who believed MS's acquisitions were good, because competition is good, otherwise Sony will get arrogant and do this and that.
Like, Sony's business is a million billion times more dependent on Playstation's success than MS's business is on Xbox. MS can cut bait on their gaming division and carry on all the same, so why should we be happy that they control of larger and larger parts of the industry?
Arkane and Tango didn't even get to start and finish a game under MS. What's going to happen to their other smaller studios? MS is not providing the stability for these studios that many (including xbox leadership) swore they would.
