Microsoft's acquisition strategy is basically a self-fulfilling prophecy at this point. Buy a beloved game studio, immediately make their flagship title a Game Pass exclusive on day one, watch sales tank because nobody actually buys games anymore when they're on a subscription service, then act shocked when the studio "underperforms" and shut it down. It's like buying a restaurant, removing all the paying customers, then wondering why it's not profitable. The cycle has repeated so many times now that we've got a whole graveyard of studios that were doing just fine before Microsoft decided to "help" them. Redfall, anyone?
