Rare were up for sale... was it illegal for Microsoft to buy them or something?

But it was Rare's choice to go with Microsoft, wasn't it? They approved of the idea. I don't hear anyone from Rare complaining about it...

Rare wasn't angry about it, was it? If they were, then it might have been a problem. But from what I know, they weren't. Seem to be getting along with Microsoft pretty well.

Sorry, Grey. XD Kaz is lost.

From what I remember reading in GI at one point, Rare wanted Nintendo to buy them totally since they had bought a lot of Rare's shares. Nintendo however said no, and Microsoft seized the moment and bought the remaining shares. I guess it was more then Nintendo had so thusly Microsoft gained control of the company, Nintendo didn't want to let loose that they had let Rare slip through thier fingers so they said in a press release that they had decided sell it to Microsoft. That's how I remember reading it. So really it's Nintendo's fault for not deciding to buy the remaining shares, which if they had done Rare would still be with Nintendo.
EDIT: Jackpot! This is my 777 post! (hands out punch to everyone) PARTY !

If I remember rightly, there were quite a lot of annoyed Rare employees at the time...

Yeah, because the Xbox's graphic style just doesnt go well with rare's games. Xbox games look a lot more "cartoony" than Rares, and if they arent cartoony, they are chunky, like DOOM is. Rare are interested in detailed textures and so forth, so none of their games play well on MS consoles. Thats the way I see it anyway...
