What's up here? Microsoft on the warpath ?
It appears Microsoft purchased the maker of We happy Few and a bunch of other developers at E3 ?

I hope they don't require all these folks to become ms store exclusive. This reminds me when the yankees use to go around destroying other baseball teams by acquiring all the key players of their opponents every year.

Well, We Happy Few is being displayed on GoG store. The article says "That title is being published by Gearbox for both Xbox One, Windows and PlayStation 4; it’s unclear if Microsoft’s acquisition will change those plans."
I can clearly say those plans won't be changed, lest Microsoft got sued for contract break.

We Happy Few is grandfathered; the question is what happens with their next game… (hopefully the developer had a long term publishing contract with someone).

That is an excellent term for Microsoft, Electronic Arts, Origins, and Ubijunk: leeches. All.

Makes sense for Ninja Theory though. Sony is doing very well with character driven, cinematic action games ( Naughty Dog, GOW, etc)…and that's something NT has been doing from the start. If they get additional funding and don't mess with production, we could get something good or better on Xbox/Pc.
