They've been doing orders of magnitude better in recent years, I'm never thrilled about aggressive vertical integration but of all the massive corporations Microsoft is pretty high up on my personal list for trust (which yeah is a pretty low bar compared to Amazon/Google/etc)

Did you read about how they’re trying to buy Nintendo and all the meddling they’ve done there?

got any other articles? that one doesn't make it out to be all that bad

"Without that catalyst, I don't see an angle to a near term mutually agreeable merger of Nintendo and MS and I don't think a hostile action would be a good move, so we are playing the long game."

doesn't sound like meddling to me, just wanting to mutually merge, and who wouldn't want that as a CEO lol

Yea that wasn’t the best article. I thought it had more of the email in it.

This article has the whole email screenshot: https://www.ign.com/articles/leaked-microsoft-email-reveals-xbox-boss-phil-spencer-really-wants-to-buy-nintendo

I say “until recently” as our former MS BoD member ValueAct has been heavily acquiring shares of Nintendo and I’ve kept in touch with Mason Morfit as he’s been acquiring. It’s likely he will be pushing for more from Nintendo stock which could create opportunity for us.
