Sega not open to Microsoft acquisition. Does anyone think Microsoft's Galactus like approach to game devs will eventually prove successful? (www.eurogamer.net)

I imagine that after the Activision ordeal, there's no shot the legislative bodies in charge will allow them to keep picking up studios like a grocery list.

Phil Spencer has said on multiple occasions that they want a Japanese developer though, so I certainly expect them to keep trying for one. I imagine they'd really like to get Square Enix to end the stranglehold Sony has over Final Fantasy and similar, or get From Software for that sweet brand name Dark Souls, but good luck justifying either one to an already pissed-off CMA or FTC.
