After laying off almost 2,000 people, Xbox finds itself in a position at odds with the community-first image it has cultivated for itself.

The definition of "hostile takeover" is getting 51% w/o a formal agreement. So if MS approached everyone independently and got 51%, it's a hostile takeover. And they don't need 51% control through their own entity, they can pay independent people to do so.

I think that's unlikely to happen, but it's possible.
