I'm not sure Minecraft is a great example, as it was available on almost all modern consoles before Microsoft bought Mojang in 2014. It was already established multi-console. May not have any bearing on future IP's.. 

I'd have preferred they stayed independent like CD Projekt Red, but what do you do 

This is capitalism at work. We are seeing companies with deep pockets buy out competition. The people who innovated to this point get their payouts. In the meantime, Microsoft "invests" on itself.

I am not a Fallout player. I play games but I am not a massive gamer. I just compare this with how Telus, Rogers, and Bell work. It's just a bunch of massive companies limiting as much competition as possible, and there is very little willpower to keep this in check.

I think it works a little differently for game studios in order to produce tripple a games you need big budgets

But half a dozen or less people can create really fun games.thats the only issue with gaming these days everyone wants triple a games.Which has turned the the console into a boring medium when it used to be fun.
