In a recent post on Twitter, user Andrea tried to reach out to the CEO of Xbox to give their suggestion. After the large acquisition of Activision Blizzard King, the X user suggested that Sega should be next in line. In the post they stated, “Now that #ActivisionBlizzard is secured, Just acquire #SEGA and get done with the big acquisitions”.

But she didn’t stop there. She went on to suggest other studios, like Crystal Dynamics and Eidos Montreal. She stated that it’s a good time to do so, “before they get annihilated by Embracer”. Suggesting that if Microsoft doesn’t take over these companies, they might get ruined by their parent company.

These post was appreciated by the community with many fans of Xbox getting hyped on the fact that this was a good sounding idea. Many fans flooded the comments section with their thoughts on this suggestion.

Acquiring Sega sounds like a good idea to fans

With many being excited about the possibilities that this post brings. Some gamers started discussing why this wouldn’t be very viable for Sega.

A simple 100 emoji spoke wonders while showing support to the original poster’s suggestions.

A humorous comment stated how they should take over other companies like Capcom and Konami. This comment showed that fans now expect Microsoft to take over every other gaming studio to make the gaming industry run on the duopoly everyone believes Sony and Microsoft have.

One fan of the Golden Axe games suggested that Microsoft should fund classic projects made by Sega.

This suggestion didn’t sit right with everyone. One gamer spoke about how Microsoft and Sega already work with each other as well as Nintendo. The acquisition would mean a loss of balance in the gaming scene.
