> Microsoft Game Studios doesn't have a lot of market share in PC games besides Minecraft

Wow, that sucks. They should acquire someone with a bigger catalogue!

They really should, but is Activision-Blizzard that company? Of the 7 Activision releases in 2020 to now 4 are Call of Duty, a game that's much more popular on consoles than on PC. Blizzard is the PC side of the company, but they are mostly games that are slowly dying due to mismanagement. The IP is very valuable, but current PC sales alone wouldn't make Microsoft dominant by a long shot.

They also acquired ZeniMax, which includes Arkane, id Software, Bethesda Games Studios and MachineGames.

And Obsidian Entertainment. And inXile.
