With all the money they'll save from shutting down all the smaller studios they can just go out and buy more.

Ironically if the developers band together and start another studio they would probably have Microsoft knocking on their door with an acquisition offer in a few years.

But how else can they guarantee infinite growth to their shareholders? Won't someone please think of the poor shareholders???

I wonder if regulators will bring this up the next time Microsoft wants to buy another publisher. They fought tooth-and-nail to buy Activision Blizzard and like a child that got a new toy they're throwing out the old ones.
