This forum has had this issue for the past two or three years and its only gotten worse. As you can see in the various threads where this subject comes up.
Many of said posters would rather a company ruins it's business so their "team" can get bragging rights or whatever dumb excuse they get to gloat.
The actual developer though? Nobody cares about them. And in this case we have a very healthy company that is only growing and there is very little reason to even think of selling them. Just like Nintendo didn't need or want to be bought.
It is pathetic and exausting to see people really want to ruin gaming as we know it.
Let us be real, the only reason people are against these acquisitions is because they rock the
status quo.
How many have been against said acquisitions in the third party space where they have been normal ever since I was a child? Not many, and we know that this is the case because those threads never get the amount of cache we see when Microsoft makes a purchase.
We know that Microsoft was going to make purchases because they needed a good amount of content to make Game Pass a viable alternative, but we also know that there were a lot of views on here as to how a subscription service would lead to more AA and lower quality titles.
Businesses will do what businesses do, and the likes of Sony have grown in media by just doing that in music, movies, and now anime, Disney in media and sports via ESPN, but noooo, this should not be happening in gaming?
