In addition, they bought inXile, Double Fine, and Ninja Theory (I think those are all major independed studios I care for). Sony has made several purchases on its own recently, but nothing as significant. In other words, Microsoft has been falling behind on the exclusive front for quite some time now. I believe it attempted but failed to establish additional studios. So they went shopping and acquired a lot of wonderful independent studios that promised not to interfere with their culture and would assist them keep doing what they were doing. We'll have to wait and see how it turns out. Psychonauts 2 was IMO fantastic, even though it had been in development for a long time before to Microsoft's takeover - yet, according to Shafer, the game benefited greatly from Microsoft funds as it neared completion - for example, bosses would have been deleted from the final release otherwise. It concerns me that some of the most powerful businesses have acquired some of the most vulnerable people.
