Xbox chief Phil Spencer has recently been doing the interview circuit, mixing up his usual advocacy for Microsoft's slate with some more eyebrow-raising claims: Such as that, after the jobs bloodbath that followed the Activision-Blizzard acquisition, Microsoft is now hungrily looking at other acquisitions. After all, why stop at $69 billion?
One immediate consequence of that deal is the huge riches Microsoft instantly gained in the PC space, with obvious big-hitters like Blizzard and fan-favourite studios like Obsidian joining existing developer-publishers like Bethesda and id. It's an abundance of riches that no other mega corporation can boast.
