Microsoft har købt et hav af studier i løbet af det seneste halvandet år, og det lod ellers til at denne fase blev lukket under X019-messen, hvor Microsoft sagde at de nu overgik fra at købe studier til at hjælpe dem med at udvikle spændende spil til Xbox-platformen.
Men det er faktisk ikke helt rigtigt at Microsoft er færdige med at købe studiet. For Phil Spencer har slået fast i et interview med Eurogamer, at de ikke er helt tilfredse med antallet af købte studier endnu.
"I do think we can sometimes get a little infatuated with putting a bunch of studio logos on a slide and that becomes the news. They're not trading cards. They're studios. And we want them to build great games. I love the fact we're here announcing three new IP, two from our internal studios. As I look forward, there's not a show I can look at where we're not gonna be announcing new games, just because of the breadth of studios we have. It's not really some kind of PR battle about how many new acquisitions we can put on stage. Because if we're not building great games, the acquisitions don't matter.
But are we done? I don't think so."
Det lyder ret interessant. Hvis de ikke er færdige, hvem ser du så helst bliver en del af Xbox Games Studios?
