+1 for this, although now that Obsidian and Bethesda are buddies again....NV2 is so, so tempting.
Plenty of Room for Avowed and TESVI / Wasteland and Fallout to inhabit the same space:)

It's definitely a very very long term play for them. The netflix analogy is pretty apt. They're investing in studios / content and hope it bears fruit over the 5+ year timeframe. Great get for Microsoft from a business sense for sure.
It definitely did.
"You get Final Fantasy 16? Okay. We'll get Elder Scrolls and Fallout"
I was going to wait to december, just ordered a PS5. Earliest i have to buy an series X is friday. Probably be sold out by then.....
Yep, just saw this in one of your threads " Microsoft will grow from 15 to 23 creative studio teams and will be adding Bethesda's iconic franchises to Xbox Game Pass ".

Damn, this sucks. Hopefully, they go the Ori route and whore out the exclusives
One could just buy and xbox, PC, or get xCloud. They can still be enjoyed by all.
Why? Why would they do this? Other than titles already in multiplat status and Minecraft what are the historical markers that suggest they would do this. Would you? MS is about pulling people into their ecosystem (same as SONY). You aren't doing that by giving away TES6, Starfield and FO5 to the competition.
And no longer able to play on Nintendo/Sony consoles, this sucks for tons of people so don't try to be all like "you can still play it on 2 platforms it's all good".
"MS makes more money being multi-platform" as an argument only really applies if you're going to apply it to all of MS's stuff. You're not going to see Halo on PS5 either, even though yes it'd make MS more money.
Not happy with another studio being bought up, but with the way Sony's been setting timed exclusivity on everything next gen, it was a matter of time. Hell in general, given the past couple of years.
If you somehow think you will be getting bang for the buck with billion dollar acquisitions you are sorely mistaken. Did you think Microsoft is a charity? They will make this 7.5 billion dollars back, through you.
lol, an acquisition of this size isn't contingent on a video game press conference and didn't come together over a weekend.
So is this worse than Spider-man exclusivity on PS if Bethesda Games end up exclusive to Xbox?
But wouldn't Day 1 Game Pass + PC sales + PlayStation/Switch sales = more money?
It's easy to speculate about this, and easily come up with reasons for both scenarios, but waiting for an official confirmation from Microsoft about their plans might be the better thing to do here instead of everyone freaking out either way.
Elder Scrolls and Fallout are some of the most casual beloved games ever, like... ever.
This will absolutely move more to the Xbox/Game Pass ecosystem, and that's before further likely acquisitions.
Obviously not. Just an example. Sony has been moneyhatting exclusives left and right for a while now, this was most likely in talks for over a year.
This a huge get for MS but don't act like this not worst than that .
Hot damn, that's a commitment.
Though I will not buy microsoft hardware. I have gamepass on PC and that's enough for me.
