I'm not real sure who's the lesser of all the evils here that I would want to purchase this license. Take two is not what they were, EA is probably the most evil company out there along with Activision. I guess I want Microsoft but then these games wont be on PS5. Maybe someone else will step in and buy. What are your thoughts?

Edit: Oh great, Activision is in the running as well.

Well, if Microsoft gets MK's license, XBOX users are prone to see a KI vs MK, to try to compete with SNK vs Capcom series, can't see anything good coming from it though.

Let's hope it's MS, the other two will definitely destroy the studio's.
