I saw a post on blusky that summarized it: Microsoft never wanted to consolidate studios. They wanted to consolidate IP.

That was always the case. Nobody cares about workers from other companies. There is a reason why people fear for their jobs in buyouts/mergers.
Xbox now has some of the best IP in gaming.

I think they’ve really underestimated just how little consumers care about IP when the product attached to it is trash.
20 years ago, Halo was one of the most beloved gaming IPs. Now, after a decade of garage, hardly anyone gives a shit about it.
