this is not a good thing. Consolidations need to stop.

Purchases of studios are fine, even great, when the studio is small and was in financial pickles, such as Obsidian and Double Fine. Bethesda isn't strapped for cash. This was not necessary. Moreover, Microsoft already owns both Obsidian and inXile, which make RPGs.

Zenimax/Bethesda I think is one of the big publishers that I wouldn't be happy at all if they were bought by either Microsoft or Sony. Developer studios I get, but publishers like this is too much I think. Oh well if it happens it happens.

Bad in the whole corporate consolidation sense but besides that it is a good fit.

I guess we can bin the notion that Xbox has no games. Their portfolio of studios is massive now.
