Microsoft has acquired Havok from Intel - NeoGAF

Quotehttp://blogs.microsoft.com/blog/2015...oin-microsoft/
QuoteToday, we are proud to announce that Microsoft has acquired Havok, the leading provider of 3D physics, from Intel.
 As we welcome Havok to the Microsoft family, we will continue to work with developers to create great gaming experiences, and continue to license Havok’s development tools to partners. We believe that Havok is a fantastic addition to Microsoft’s existing tools and platform components for developers, including DirectX 12, Visual Studio and Microsoft Azure.
 Havok is an amazing technology supplier in the games industry and the leading real-time physics creator. We saw an opportunity to acquire Havok to deliver great experiences for our fans. Throughout the company’s history, they’ve partnered with Activision, EA, Ubisoft, Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft and many others to create more than 600 games including Halo, Assassin’s Creed, Call of Duty, Destiny, Dark Souls and The Elder Scrolls.
 Microsoft’s acquisition of Havok continues our tradition of empowering developers by providing them with the tools to unleash their creativity to the world.   We will continue to innovate for the benefit of development partners. Part of this innovation will include building the most complete cloud service, which we’ve just started to show through games like “Crackdown 3.”
 Havok shares Microsoft’s vision for empowering people to create worlds and experiences that have never been seen before, and we look forward to sharing more of this vision in the near future.

It's not going to change anything. Microsoft wants money, not to cripple the industry and devalue their product by making it exclusive. There are plenty of alternatives if Sony/Nintendo needed to switch.

Basically the same situation with Minecraft.

Lol Xbox fanboys jerking each other off over the news already. "My god! Microsoft's IPs are going to get crazy good!"

The fudge? From the acquisition of something they already used in some of their games and could have used in more of them WITHOUT owning it?
