They buy other companies that make games and then proceed to ruin everything about both.
Microsoft has actually been a game company since before they made Windows. Microsoft Flight simulator came out in the early 80s
Arguably not a "game" game, it's a simulator.
Age of Empires I remember playing, Im sure there are others as well.
Everyone always says the "fun fact" about minesweeper and solitare being made by Microsoft to ensure users learned how to point and click, left/right click, and drag and drop, but I would say that was more a means to an end than a video game development aim though.
Granted. I remember Age of Empires II very fondly.
Great another EA
EDIT: sorry, PUI
