You can see the writing on the wall for FairGame$ and Marathon from a mile away, and this can't possibly instill confidence in the people still working there.

I wonder if Microsoft's shopping spree induced FOMO in Sony and they ended up buying shit. Sony already had the best studios but they chased live service for no reason.

So how much did they make?

Negative hundreds of millions of dollars. But the point still stands that they believed this was a rational way to make a boatload of money. With hindsight, we're all geniuses, but yes, this was a stupid move.

i think the funniest part is ontop of bad acquisitions, Microsoft was only able to buy blizzard activision partially because sony had a history of making non PlayStation versions of games inferior to the PlayStation version.
had Sony actually played fair ball, none of this would have probably happened.
