Microsoft Is Close To Buying Obsidian

Mikeha

"Microsoft is finalizing a deal to acquire the independent development studio Obsidian Entertainment, according to three people briefed on the negotiations. We don’t know if ink is on paper yet, and plenty of major acquisition deals have fallen apart in the final hours, but those close to the companies believe it is all but done. "

Not sure what I think about that.  Lets hope they don't kill creative freedom of the studios they have been buying lately.  I do know one drawback and that's the MS store.  One of the worst fricking things I have ever encountered. 

I can see some exclusives in the future for MS from some of these studios they have bought recently even though they are pushing cross platform play.  If they had the success of PS with exclusives, I doubt they would be pushing cross play as much as they are.
