If you somehow found the entire Gears of War franchise to be an engaging title, but somehow do not really like the Xbox platform for one reason or another, you will be disappointed to know that Gears of War will not likely appear on a non-Microsoft console anytime soon. Why do we say that? Well, it is now official: Microsoft has picked up developer Epic Games and assimilated them into their fold, and any gamer worth his or her salt would know that Epic Games is the developer of the Unreal Engine as well as owner of the Gears of War franchise.

There is nothing quite like a rebranding exercise once in a while to make sure that your product remains fresh in peoples’ memories, not to mention ensuring that it enters into the consciousness of many. Microsoft has just rebranded their cloud storage service to OneDrive, where it was formerly known as SkyDrive.

When you are a company that is flush with cash and is one of the major players in the market in which you’re in, then you can be sure that sometimes, it might be more affordable to actually purchase another company which has the technology you are looking for to assimilate them into your DNA, rather than to go through the trouble and spending the additional time into research and development which might end up being a whole lot more expensive than originally expected.
