Phil Spencer doesn’t rule out Microsoft buying more game developers
“This is such a competitive market, I don’t think we need to pause anything. Tencent is the largest game company on the planet today and continues to invest heavily in game content and game creators. Today Sony is a bigger company than us in the gaming industry and continues to invest“, he has declared.
Of course, they can’t buy the entire market. So they also considered making alliances with some developers.
“We strive to be a major player here. We want to deliver great content for our players and will stay active, whether it’s investing in our in-house teams who are already creating great games that people know and love, whether it’s building new partnerships (…) What if it becomes a merger of work and acquisitions, we are also active there. So the work for us is never done. It’s a competitive market and I want to make sure Xbox is at the forefront of innovation and competition.“, He added.
