Get the The devil's touch mug.A subversion of the Midas touch, where instead of whatever the king, or in this context, company, Touches, Or acquires, turns to shit rather than gold. The term is based on Microsoft's constant acquisitions of companies that almost immediately get liquidated or produce nothing but garbage afterward.
A good example of this is Rareware, a gold standard for games on the Nintendo64, and even earlier for the SNES. Being notorious for producing a large amount of critically acclaimed games. Until Microsoft acquired them in 2002, where they essentially were a dead company afterward.
This same loop can be seen with various companies, platforms, and games bought out by them and other companies. Skype is another perfect example of this.
