I can't speak to Ninja Theory specifically but it is suspicious that all these studios they bought up slow to a crawl or turn out lower quality games after acquisition

Ms is in the top 3 revenues and those are significantly higher (>2*) revenues from the rest of the companies below the top 3

top 10 from the Wikipedia list of largest video game companies by revenue

    Being in the top 3 for revenue doesn’t make you a monopoly. Xbox is the clear last place in the console wars. You can’t be a monopoly from last place lol.

    The studios they bought didn’t really change their release cadence or quality after being bought.
