I think Microsoft would love to own Unity. Many of their game studios use it, it's C# (with a promised migration from Unity's ancient hacked Mono to modern .NET), they don't have their own public game engine. It would probably be the best outcome for everyone.

I could see that potentially being an Anti-Trust issue for them.

Given the controversy over the Activision acquisition, acquiring one of the major engine platforms, having a major game studio, and already owning the XBox platform might make for great end to end strategic alignment / platform control - but I think it would also be a big regulatory/political fight to get done.

Pretty much non of them use it outside the random A game here and there, they use UE5 or in house. The only ones I remember that used Unity were Ori and Cuphead and those were not first party studios
