After developing games exclusively for Xbox 360 and PC, it's fair to say that indie dev Twisted Pixel has been going steady with Microsoft. Today, the two have finally tied the knot as the Redmond corporation announced that it has purchased the Austin studio.

bye bye Twisted Pixel

Who knows,but knowing MS this is certainly part of some bigger master plan.

Probably something related to their next gen XBLA,Kinect,Win8,etc plans

Why would they buy Twisted Pixel?

Pointless,they are small and they made games exclusively for MS.There is no benefit in short run.
