    Microsoft aquisition Phases:

    1. Purchase game studio
    2. Set unrealistic expectations
    3. Use unrealistic expectations to drive away talent
    4. Use failure to meet expectations to justify layoffs.
    5. Various Tax write-offs
    6. Claim that nothing could be done to avoid having bought out and eliminated another competitor.
