Microsoft did not buy Rare in hopes of getting the DK franchise. This is likely confused with the fact that one executive thought they'd be receiving DK after Microsoft had already bought Rare and they were touring the studio. https://gamingbolt.com/microsoft-thinking-it-owned-donkey-kong-was-actually-one-exec-not-microsoft-as-a-whole

Original Tweet

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1848402496097530058

Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
