Considering the difficulties Microsoft had buying up Activision, I don’t think they will be allowed to buy up another game company of any remotely big size.

If Nintendo went belly up today, Microsoft would buy them.

Now that trumps in charge. Microsoft could buy the Whitehouse and no one would bat an eyelash.

Oracle or someone worse would buy them. That’s how capitalism works.
