This week, Microsoft's Phil Spencer responded via Twitter to the news, simply stating that Microsoft cannot be a part of every business deal for exclusive games, and that the company would rather invest in its own "Killer Instinct" title.
Reads the tweet: "Business deals happen. We won't do all of them. When we have a 1st party franchise in a genre I'd rather invest in ours."
Of course, Microsoft does invest in third-party games, as well, recently making "Rise of the Tomb Raider" a timed exclusive when it launches next year.
