I hate that this is going to be happening. Like, I don't mind MS aquisitions as much because I, a consumer and Gamepass subscriber get to benefit directly because of it, but at the same time my friends with Playstation as their main or only system miss out on some games as well. Other acquisitions, like Amazon, Sony or Google I hate a lot more, because then (assuming the games are made exclusive) I get no real benefit and people get games taken away from them. Not to mention just consolidation of the industry in general which is just gross.
This generation is going to be depressing, doubly so if another publisher is bought out again. I can't blame MS for wanting to partake in the upcoming bidding wars, but this is just all so saddening to me. Doubly so if we have any Rare situations with beloved studios (as in, a beloved studio losing their culture and vibe from their games after being purchased, even if the studios do eventually make a comeback, and this isn't a dig at MS either, they have handled their recent buyouts pretty well so far, though it's obviously to early to tell)
