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

One company owning, or trying to own, every business or studio in an industry is literally never a successful and positive thing. It will create a monopolistic vacuum that will ultimately destroy the quality of video games and drive the retail price up as Microsoft tries to leach as much money out of the industry as possible with the least amount of effort. Competition is absolutely critical to prevent this inevitable outcome.
