We have made minor adjustments to how the search bar works on ResetEra. You can read about the changes here.
I don't like this move, only because now it means that Sony will start to do the same and we'll start to see 3rd party companies becoming 1st party companies. This is going to get ugly.
Can you see Square Enix going to Sony? Capcom to MS? Then gamers will need to have specific platforms to play their favorite IPs/games.

This just secured my Series X pre-order decision over PS5.
If they want to recoup money on investment, I cannot see them putting games on a Playstation without it being via Gamepass. They absolutely want it to be a big fat USP to separate them from Sony.
Probably the biggest gaming announcement since SEGA left hardware.
As a a game pass subscriber I am happy that I will get a ton of value. However I think it will be healthy for the industry if Bethesda games still launched on other platforms.
Everything free on gamepass but also launching traditionally for other platforms.

This is a shitty move regardless of whichever platform holder got this exclusivity. The only people I'm happy for are the teams/developers that get more job security because of this.
It just feels like you literally cut off an entire gaming base because of this. If Sony did it, it would suck for Xbox gamers. Buying a studio that has literally been third party for so long now doesn't sit right with me.

Switch + Xbox Series S + Gamepass seems like the best option for a budget gamer like yours truly.
Come on now; Insomniac and Zenimax Media are in no way comparable.
Also y'all don't know what games are exclusive or not. We shall see. 7.5 billion is a massive amount to keep something on one console
No, the agreements that were signed before this are still valid. So a MS 1st party is currently making a PS5 Exclusive.
im starting to imagine a future where every game developer is owned either by sony, microsoft, or nintendo.
honestly, hope we never get there

Well, that's one way to promote your pre-orders opening.
But seriously, this is one of the biggest days in gaming ever. This is Activision-Blizzard merger / SEGA leaving the hardware business level shit.

Honestly call me crazy but i think MS wants Xbox to be a platform agnostic game software company that also offers their own consoles/offers services, but publishes everywhere. It makes absolute sense if you look at it from this lens and how the rest of the company is ran. This is why this purchase would make a lot more sense than JUST for a single game console alone.
Minecraft is a perfect example of that, They may give their platform some level of exclusivity but have the games come to other platforms.
100%. You don't pay over 7 billion for those teams and those IPs, and then not use them in the most effective way (exclusive to their console)
Wow. Well done Microsoft!
Glad I have xbox ultimate until like 2022. Converting gold passes might be my greatest gaming investment.
