Thinking about it more, that's way too much to pay to cut off such a huge source of profit. I think the big franchises are probably staying multi.

Guys, Ori and Cuphead being on Switch is not particularly meaningful and, while that means "they're publishing games on Switch" is technically true, it doesn't really mean anything when it comes to this AAA publisher they very obviously just bought to bail out xbox.

Am I misremembering or didn’t that acquisition deal specifically stipulate that MS couldn’t make Minecraft an exclusive or pull it from the platforms where it was already selling? They would be crazy not to make these games PC and Xbox exclusives.

Just gonna put this out there... seems like they were also sniffing around Bungie (I know the denials, but going with where there was smoke there was fire on that one), very possible they're been looking at lining up multiple acquisitions again. Seems clear this was a big announcement ahead of preorders, so might they have other acquisitions to announce also? Thinking back to a couple years ago when they announced like 5 acquisitions in one day.
