The best and fastest way to destroy a game franchise is to sell it to another bigger Corporation! Are there any examples at all of a game developer getting better after being bought out?

No different than corporate takeovers of food. Remember how Pizza Hut, KFC, Domino's, and Taco Bell were pre-2000? They all used to be far better products once upon a time.

Though I think this has more to do with technology and foreign exchange/transfer, particularly with India with whom Gates is quite entrenched with.

Such as, every developer MS has brought under their banner touting how great the experience has been? You can easily do some research yourself and find the results of their past acquisitions. Financial and logistical support to let teams make the games they've wanted to make but couldn't for one reason or another.
