IO interactive still owns the freedom fighters ip..thats a huge ip with a big fanbase on console and pc platform....this will further strengthen XGS portfolio plus they now have two studios in two different locations which means a new ip may be worked on..i dont know why anyone would not want this..it will be great if they join XGS because two potential multi-million dollar ips thats hitman and freedom fighters become part of XGS coupled with a potential new IP..do IT microsoft bring IOI home
