Don’t imagine it would, it sure could have different logistics for sure but nothing complicated. Not like it’s licencing 
as the more dormant IP gets used the more usage they actually get out of it so imagine it would also be encouraged.
I just don’t know how IP laws and rights work in regards to M&A and if X group of IP being acquired from here and Y group of IP being acquired from there means X & Y can’t be used here and there because of legal magumbo.
That’s what I figured but no idea how IP laws works.
Here’s really hoping Shadowrun by Arkane happens.
Moreso after playing CP2077.
I imagine Shadowrun by Arkane being what CP2077 should have been, even if 2077 is pretty good.

Shadowrun immersive sim-RPG with the scale of CP2077, more immersive sim-ness from Arkane. Sheesh

I really don’t imagine anything like that exists. Whoever owns an IP has the right to licence it to another. It’s just that it usually costs money and might have different risks and calculations, but not when all the companies are under the same bigger company I don’t think those risks exist. I imagine for let’s say Toys for Bob makes Banjo, they work out a legal license but not be anything complicated or that requires money. Like even something like Fable or Perfect Dark could have something like that in order for Playground and Initiative to make them. Boring paperwork stuff.
These companies aren’t independent at all, they all report directly into Phil Spencer

Yeah, “semi-independent subsidiary” means they have a great wiggle room, but ultimately it’s MS which calls the shots.
Well looking to accentuate the positive:
If we round up Febraury as being “done” it really makes it March, which means we’re only 3 months away from the likely Xbox E3 Summer Showcase.
ONLY THREE MONTHS. (KNOCK ON WOOD)

Well more like 2 months because no way in hell Jez, @Shpeshal_Nick and Grubb aren’t leaking what’s going to be in the showcase in the Middle of May.
You still believe that there will be a showcase before June? If so, I give you props for staying with what you believe. 
Spring showcase 
That wouldnt be until September for Nick.

You ready for 2 months of rumors about what’s not going to make it?
Fairly certain we’ve already had 4 months of FUD rumors about that. It’s felt like far longer already.

I thought that showcase rumors are Sony camp’s specialty?
Starfield.
Forza
Redfall
To be the focus in terms of first party
I am actually curious if we will really see Starfield trailer during DICE awards.
Kill me now.
