I don't see them buying EA, maybe some of EA's IPs or development houses, but Microsoft doesn't need EA's publishing resources.
Bluehole would be good purchase to keep Pubg xbox console exclusive.

I don't think Valve would ever sell willingly to MS. As much as MS would love to swallow up steam, Valve wouldn't let it happen, and they're not public.

Uh oh. We don't need any of these companies (except maybe EA) turning into the new Rare.

EA kills smaller devs and publishers by buying them and dismantling them. Microsoft does so by effectively "starving them". I wish they'd give the Rare IPs to someone who will do something with them. Just like how I wish Gearbox would give the rights to Duke Nukem to someone who actually cares about it.

Even though I've used Windows my whole life and been Xbox over PS, I still hate Microsoft and how everything they get their greasy hands on they turn into an elaborate way to make more money than they need. However.. if they bought Valve they could do some good things.. I'd had if they made online a paid service, but I'd love to have all my games listed in one library accessible on both my PC and Xbox, it would also eliminate this 'Xbox Play Anywhere' thing where you have like 1 game on your pc and not in steam. If they do it right (though I doubt they will) this could go well, but knowing Microsoft they will put money before customer satisfaction.

As for EA, they are just as bad as Microsoft and them being bought out might actually save us money tbh..
