@wahsobe: I didn't know that you posed that as an ACTUAL question that needed an ACTUAL answer. I kinda thought that it was a rhetorical question since none of that would, or could ACTUALLY ever happen in a thousands years, but okay I'll give it an answer.
I don't believe that Turn 10 could develop a competent racing sim title that sim racers would embrace. I don't believe that they could do it better than the other existing devs because they lack the experience, and (this is the big one) the other devs aren't under the thumb of any big corporation to do what they expect. The the other studios can do what the sim racing community wants and expects, not what some corporation wants them do do.
To answer the other half of the question, I believe that Microsoft would create a much better sim/cade RPG racing game like the Forza series has been. The other devs lack the experience. Turn 10 has nearly two decades of experience in making this kind of racing game.
The Forza community is not the sim racing community. Microsoft would never include the features that are required for the success of such a venture. All you believe is how top tier you think the studio is, but I have been saying what I say because I know exactly what Microsoft, Xbox, and Turn 10 are about. Microsoft wants to completely control that shit, with persistent online connections, data collecting, and their dumbass AI that they are desperately pushing on Windows users. Microsoft is also all about adding completely worthless DLC to Forza Motorsport titles. Sim racers don't want lame ass Hot Wheels DLCs, bullshit Doritos car pack DLCs, or pathetic plus $100 VIP packs. This is all that Microsoft is about. This is corny console crap and the Xbox console is where it belongs. Microsoft wouldn't have a clue how to please the sim racing crowd. This is the type of crap they have been shoveling down gamers throats for two decades, and it gets worse and more over-the-top with every Forza title. I doubt the Forza community has asked for any of this crap, but Microsoft is going to do what's best for Microsoft - Doritos, Hot Wheels, Barbie and any other trending corporate tie-in that they can find. Sim racers can get all that bullshit from the modding community if they wanted, and do you know how? Modders would simply do what they always have, make conversions of Forza assets into racing sim titles, particularly into Assetto Corsa. Microsoft is so stupid that they would never officially allow modding because they can't control the modding scene.
You say that Turn 10 has the ability to produce a competent sim title, can YOU present proof that they could produce a competent racing sim without telling me how the studio is so great and so top tier.
You ask me for some kind of example of how Turn 10 lacks the capability to produce a competent racing sim? Well Have you been on the new Forza Motorsport Steam page. The game is getting absolutely torched by PC Gamers with Mostly Negative reviews. They're blasting the game from every direction. How do you think that Turn 10 could develop a competent racing sim when they still haven't even perfected the RPG car collecting game that is Forza. Microsoft would never in a million years garner the kind of respect and excitement that the other studios that I mentioned are getting on the PC platform as I type.
P.S. I noticed that you did not respond to this article.
"Starfield community patchers are frustrated by the game's lack of mod support: 'A lot of stuff is really broken compared to the other games"
I was showing you further proof of what I have been saying about the kind of support they get from the PC community (more like complaints). You have been too busy telling me how top tier you think Turn 10 is currently.
Microsoft: The Console Gaming Company. This should be they're slogan for Xbox.
I'm hoping that Godzilla features from Japan start coming more frequent and not every ten years. I loathe the horrid Americanized movies, right down to how the creature looks - Hollywood sheez.
