All these answers make sense, thank you for the info !
So classic Doom will now come pre-installed on all Windows copies, right?
In seriousness, since I have a PC/PS/Switch, I don't mind this and am curious as to what happens now. Will Obsidian get to make a new Fallout? Will there be some sort of crossover between Doom and Halo? Will a MS studio do a competent Commander Keen game? The possibilities are endless.

Imagine the breakdown if sony bought a major publisher though lol this news and that would break era.
Not that I think Sony would ever. I don't see Sony spending 5+ billion on acquisitions.
Buying EA would be crazy though.
MS world wide studios is a beast now.
I've been saying for so long that zeni/Bethesda are like the only other single player focused pub next to Sony, and what has MS been lacking a lot? SP focused games.
Though I think I saw a thread that they will continue releasing multiplat titles, so who really knows the implications with this.
Regardless this is an industry shattering move.
I am STILL shocked, my mind is blown.

Wall Street usually doesn't like big acquisitions when announced.
Less choice, opportunity, and benefit? I think this benefits the consumer due to game pass. Game pass is cheap to access the entire trove of xbox gmaes for a month. It's enough for me to subscribe once a year.
Just becuase they're the two largest publishers doesn't mean indies will die and there will always be smaller developer studios. More publishers will also spawn up in the void left by them. Highly doubt creativity will die due to indie studios.
I would love for Sony to start a gamepass of their own. That way I can pay for a few months to play their entire trove

Oh, sorry. Yeah, that's obviously different, though Take Two/Rockstar isn't exactly struggling to cover its operating costs. But I agree Sony isn't going to one-up this.
Possibly. And it won't be "timed" either, lol. Console exclusive and they mean that.
No, but if you belong in to the group of brand idiots who where trolling other gamers of not having enough first party games. You belong in to the group who are feeling the burn inside.
Sometimes you gotta just lay your cards on the table and let them speak for themselves.
Counterpoint: PS fans will be able to play Bethesda games without buying an Xbox; as a matter of fact, a $10/mo sub will be sufficient.
As of now, Xbox fans who would like to play Insomniac games have no choice but investing hundreds of $ in a console + individual game(s).
Here's hoping Sony will eventually fight Game Pass with an alternative service.
They may try, but Microsoft also set the market here. What is Take Two going to want? More than $7.5 Billion.
Can SONY afford that? Probably not. Would they want to pay that even if they could? Probably not.

It was? This is the first time I heard about this and based on the reactions of many, so do other people.

This would have been Earth shattering to me a few years ago. After Fallout 4 and the last couple of Wolfenstein's, I'm not really looking forward to the next Elder Scrolls as much as I was before. However, MS also having Obsidian means that I won't have an alternative available on PS5. Very well played MS. At least they're making big moves!
I believe their point is that consolidation like this will eventually reduce competition.
It's a real comment if their other posts are anything to go by.
That may be but this is still huge, MS now have some of biggest IPs under their belt!
I'm afraid this will start a new trend of buying big publishers and I'm not sure it bodes well for the future of gaming...
Holy shit lol. Reset is starting to feel like a comedy forum.
I will say this, MS will be goddamn heroes if this leads to another Obsidian made Fallout game, exclusive or not.
Just the thought of that being a thing makes me giddy.

Imagine the games that could come out of of those people gathered under one roof.
Glad I decided (and am able to) get both consoles. Wish everything would be playable on one box, but oh well.
Getting all the Bethesda games on Gamepass would be sweeeet.

Phil never said future Bethesda games would be coming to any other platform. The wording he used is the wording they use for being able to play on Xbox, PC, XCloud, etc. It isn't about being on Sony or Nintendo platforms.
Obsidian and Bethesda under the same company? We getting good Fallout again, fuck yeah.
Feel bad for Sony-only people, about to get that same feeling PC people did when they thought Demon's Souls was coming to PC for a moment. MS actually will play ball and allow games for other manufacturers in some situations (like Nintendo) but I kinda doubt Sony is on that list.

What are you taking about?? Sony's revenue in 2019 alone was $78 billion.
Apart from Minecraft has any other Xbox owned studios released any game on Playstation? Why are people so confident Elder Scrolls and Starfield are coming to PS5?
