I think depends on some factors, for what I know Activision wants funding for the games and Microsoft wants games for the console. A merger or adquisition that removes competition is plainly bad although this one is harder to tell since the relationship could be more symbiotic I guess. And although Microsoft hasn't the cleanest of records they are no EA
You can fund games and have exclusivity. There is no need to aquire the studio for this. It does make it guaranteed for the future though.
They could cosponser some games then, without needing to buy them out
