That’s what I assume - like if your studio is going under anyway and MS is the only one to make an offer, you might be able to keep the place running for another year of so, give everyone a buffer and maybe finish whatever you were working on. I would figure it’s not a long-term strategy though, more just slowing the collapse.

I don’t understand why any company would agree to be bought out by Microsoft. MS’s modus operandi since its inception has been to stifle competition by buying everything up and gutting it. It’s a death sentence.
Is it for a big personal pay out by the team and they can all go elsewhere with a fat check once the axe drops?

The owners of the company get a fat check while the employees gets shafted. Same as with any corporate merger.
