Companies going to try and get acquired by Microsoft so they can cash out then start releasing mid
That's how this shyt really works.
More often than not once a company's been acquired they coasting, they don't step up. Got that bag, mission accomplished
The ones who're in it for the actual love don't want anything to do with Microsoft and probably bounce.
Honestly,
Microsoft should work on their own games and use that money to actually hire real talent.
A lot of really good software engineers don't want to go into gaming because of the lower pay compared to other fields.
They should open up the checkbook. I don't see that happening though because it's too much work.
