Can this be marked as one of the darkest days in retro gaming history? Watching Microsoft purchasing Rare was like watching Satan purchase the Church. Just an absolutely disgusting act that defiled video game culture for years to come. Imagine how much stronger the GameCube library would have been with Rare to back it up. Donkey Kong Racing, Perfect Dark Zero, Kameo, and possibly even Banjo Threeie would have all been GameCube games.

And the saddest thing is Micro$hit didn't do a single worthwhile thing with any of Rare's IPs. The whole purchase was conducted for no reason other than pure evil, to deprive gamers of what we wanted.
