Crytek is pretty much guaranteed. I wish they would nab Moon Studios though.

1 ring to rule them all!
middle earth shall not be the same again!
now seriously ( kinda )
maybe they want more in case they mess up management in some of the studios, so they still end up with some studios?
you know, walking down the road, some eggs break, you still have some eggs left when you arrive at home!

One of my friend's favorite movies lol. Need Phil super-imposed over Arnold in that gif though.
To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women.

Suxh as?
why ? those developers will continue to produce games ....and those will end on multiple devices ...and after the announcement today .... you don't need a console to play their games but soon only a controller .

What are you crazy? They don't need games or a release schedule.... If they own all the studios then no one can possibly have games and Xbox "wins" by default. Get with the program.
they are about to have a massive wave of games

I met Major Nelson at Gears launch in Universal Studios with Cliffy B long long ago. Ive got major respect for him.
He's been doing this for a long time.
but as a fan
I hope to see Colt get a job with MS.
Like you I see that trajectory
I havent seen any of his new podcast though as i am loyal to the xbot oriented RDX haa,
but its really good to see Colt catapult himself from that to his own thing.

Why leave Sony alone when you can buy Sony and destroy it!
MS loves buying things and ruin it !
I’m joking that is how everyone should be taking this rumor… as a joke!

if to me to play the timed exclusive cost 80 euro and not 9.99 dollars ..and if to play it I must necessarily have the proprietary device that who publishes the game sell ....... yes, in that case it is much better Gamepass

Wait we are already seeing that tweet as real? You guys are so easy!
I should make a Twitter account and start trolling everyone

If they want to go for the kill, they have to buy Rockstar and Ubisoft. GTA going xbox exclusive will just crush everyone's spirits. And Ubisoft is just a very productive albeit mediocre studio. PS relies on their output every year multiple times a year to fill in the gaps between their exclusives.
Never gonna happen but if they want to go in for the kill, buying has been studios like Crytek and smaller studios like Bluepoint, and KojiPro wont do. It will make Sony bleed. I will cry. Gaf will die. Mod of War will resign, but wont kill sony. Rockstar is the key.

Playtonic could be a goer. Small studio, probably have to chase publisher funding all the time. MS could ease any financial issues they’d ever have and they’d also get a productive small studio making platformers. The Banjo-Playtonic rumours would be annoying as fuck though... unless they’re already developing a Banjo game and it’s been under wraps. Impossible Lair did come out in 2019...
There have been rumours over the past 18 months that they had been acquired (they shot it down) and that they were making Banjo (they shot it down) maybe someone within getting leaky leaky?

No one is thinking that tweet is real. A company man would not be so foolish.

Bollocks. Somebody always point out the upcoming threat of Amazon and Google, when MS is working at consolidating the industry right now. Those who are old enough remember their seek and destroy strategy in the 90s...
Meanwhile, at Sony: "Organic growth! We are grooming these developers so that they may or may not join us by 2050...Oups! ".
i would love it just for the meltdowns...but honestly I would prefer anyone instead of fromsoft

Hopefully Sega is one of them. Fatlus games on gamepass day 1 instead of insane bullshit like smt3 for $60 in 2021.

There has been a lot of Banjo talk recently and Rare doesn't seem to want to do it so this makes sense.
Bring on the Banjo shirt at E3 Phil.

Bigger is always better 
Because in one case you own the studio. In the other you don’t and are just paying a fee to keep it off the other machines. But it’s all legal so we have to live with it.
Holy shit! I laughed!
Microsoft at the developer buffet.

Oh, I don't want it at all. The meltdowns would be hilarious though.
