Quick question, why was the UK selected for this process? Also, Microsoft was directly involved in very successful games such as AoE, Flight Simulator, Dungeon Siege and Fable. I understand the management's desire to acquire every other IP in the industry but they really should focus on making their own stuff.

Similar things are happening in other countries. The US is looking at this one too.
