Yikes! :O

I don't like the idea of Microsoft buying out EA or Valve. Don't like how they started the whole play for online mplayer craze, and then Sony and Nintendo followed through. And I really don't like setting up more barriers for gamers.

Can you imagine Assassin's Creed, Team Fortress, Counter-Strike, FIFA, NFS, being put behind an exclusive Xbox label? Why separate pools of gamers? Isn't the idea to move forward to more cross-play and unification?

However, to jump off the hype bandwagon, and be a little bit realist for a second here. Among the three, the acquisition of PUBG Corp seems the most plausible.

What do you guys/girls think about Microsoft's reportedly acquisition of one of the three?
