It’s not clear what happened with the Sega acquisition and whether Nadella ultimately approved talks. But in a Microsoft internal April 2021 merger review document, Sega was still listed as a key target. Microsoft had identified key areas for acquisitions in PC, mobile, and console across different markets, and Sega, Bungie, Zynga, and IO Interactive were part of a number of companies Microsoft was seriously looking at acquiring.
Gross. Keep your hands off of Sega, Microsoft… I like their games, and your track record of developing games has been lousy since the 360 days. Plus, you know, the whole market consolidation thing…
Sega is one of the only game companies i dont despise and i’d like to keep it that way
