Microsoft's latest big videogame acquisition is not a studio, but an esports platform: Smash.gg, which provides organizational services and support for amateur and professional gaming tournaments, is now a part of the Microsoft Content Services group. Smash.gg expanded on that a bit on Twitter. "With this acquisition, the Smash.gg community and tournament organizers will continue to benefit from the Smash.gg platform, while our team will now benefit from additional resources and support as part of the Microsoft Content Services team.
Maybe the reason they decided to buy it is because they wanted to a better way to organize tournaments where prizes were given out. That interest me they would actually spend money on it. Probably didn't cost that much but I will be sure to keep an eye on tournaments they have going on. That interest me quite a bit.
