In my opinion, they're just playing catch up with Sony. Sony started buying up studios years ago and has some quality studios pumping out top notch games which are Playstation Exclusive. To deal with that Microsoft is buying up some too, they just went straight to the top and decided to go for an already estabished studios instead of going for smaller ones and investing until they deliver in 5-10 years.
- TerrifiedMouse 3y agoWhat people hated about Microsoft’s acquisition was that it will deprive its competitors IPs they used to have access to - eventually. Sony’s acquisitions are less “egregious” as the companies they acquire usually generated few to no (valuable) IPs for their competitors - there are exceptions of course. That’s why most all of their acquisitions fly under the radar.
- that_guy_iain 3y agoYea, but the problem was originally caused by Sony. Many say it's anti-competive but really it's basically done to compete. I would say making games console exclusive should be banned if you want to remove things like this.
