Microsoft considered acquiring Bungie and Sega to bolster Xbox Game Pass, internal emails show - eviltoast

It’s not clear what happened with the Sega acquisition and whether Nadella ultimately approved talks. But in a Microsoft internal April 2021 merger review document, Sega was still listed as a key target. Microsoft had identified key areas for acquisitions in PC, mobile, and console across different markets, and Sega, Bungie, Zynga, and IO Interactive were part of a number of companies Microsoft was seriously looking at acquiring.

    @UrLogicFails As a PC gamer that wants Linux and Wine/Proton to take off to be mainstream.
    I can’t stand how Microsoft is convincing everyone that Sony is “evil”. That they need to buy more companies, until they’re monopolizing (thanks european union).
    Sure! Sony is crap, but at least they’re delivering games not like those pieces of shit that Microsoft calls “games”.
    If I have to choose between keep alive 2 brands and kill 1 brand. I’d, of course, take PlayStation and Nintendo. Xbox is useless.
