I'd agree, definitely interesting. Anyone know if GameInformer usually covers/publicizes these kinds of promotional talks by large firms like Microsoft? It'd seem more significant if it was odd for them to cover it. I don't read the mag (but prolly should, lol).

This article wasn't exclusive to game informer - it was all over my news feeds from many sources, just absent from the subreddits & Lemmy communities in this investment path's orbit.
My wild speculation is that Microsoft is releasing many titles and studios from exclusivity because there will be a universal game marketplace. Such a marketplace would have to have 2 of the 3 major console platforms on it, and as such would have to be operated by an independent 3rd party...
