According to rumors, Microsoft is preparing a big purchase. It can be Electronic Arts or Valve

Game edition Polygon laid out a lot of material about   the internal kitchen of the game division of Microsoft. It turned out that the company is very concerned about the fact that the PlayStation 4 is sold in   2 times more successful than Xbox One, so in   Microsoft wants to turn the game over by buying some very large studio.

Moreover, the choice of   Microsoft is extremely serious and   with   the parties do not   gives in to some kind of analysis. Polygon sources talk about   that it can be like a studio author of a creepy fashion shooter PlayerUnknown's   Battlegrounds and   all the office of Electronic Arts with   giblets. AND   Here, while everything is relatively logical   - companies do not   enough bright game titles, and   buying something so big and   bright can return attention to   Xbox.

So   The source claims that in   Microsoft is   side of buying Valve, the good of money there is enough. AND   this is no longer   quite understandable. Valve has long given up all attention to   Steam and   edition of games for PC, and   Microsoft has long ago scored on   this market. Is that Valve does Half-Life 3, and   Microsoft wants to make it an exclusive for Xbox. But   we   rather believe in   the fact that Jesus returned and   works as a plumber in   Cincinnati.

It is interesting that such information did not slip through   only   Polygon. Head of the analytical company SuperData Research Joust van Drenen expects that the official announcement of any purchase of Microsoft will happen very soon. By   he said the head of the gaming unit Phil Spencer dissatisfied with the state of affairs and   I am ready to invest a lot of resources.
