Yeah there's few studio purchases that could be bigger. That's a heavy blow to Sony but a great situation for pc gamers.
If they're gonna be anything like the other Microsoft games, expect all of them on game pass. --- The King Wang. Listen up Urinal Cake. I already have something that tells me if I'm too drunk when I pee on it: My friends. - Colbert. ... Copied to Clipboard!

If Microsoft ever had an aggressive mentality to kill off its competitors and become the only console maker... I think that mentality has long since faded. It's much easier and more profitable to lend out your IPs everywhere. --- Yoblazer https://imgur.com/gByqgPg ... Copied to Clipboard!

I could see them still releasing the bigger titles multiplat (they still put Minecraft on other consoles, after all), but it does mean day one Gamepass, so woo! Especially with games becoming more expensive next gen.

I wonder how much Fallout 76 had to do with this. I can't imagine Bethesda selling like that while things are trending upward, even for that absurd amount of money.
How has Microsoft been as a parent company? I know there was some grumbling over their handling of Bungie initially, but I don't remember hearing much of anything else about them, positive or negative. --- Video Game Music Contest 14 champion: Idola Phantasy Star Saga - Endeavour ...

if this was 10 years ago you'd probably be right, but with Microsoft going more service focused there's a good chance Bethesda games go the same route as Minecraft and still releases on everything. They have Game Pass Day 1 releases to maintain their advantage while still making money for those who want to buy it on other platforms.

Microsoft's plan is to get Gamepass on Nintendo and Sony consoles. Minecraft is a money printer.

Yes, Star Wars, a franchise that has made over $70B, is worth less than Doom/TES/Fallout.

Regarding Star Wars comparisons, bear in mind that in 2012 Star Wars was nearly totally inactive so that probably helped. Today it would go for far more than 4 billion. --- I just decided to change this sig. Blaaaaaaargh azuarc ... Copied to Clipboard!

Second, all of Bethesdas new games can be expected to be on Game Pass which is pretty big, if things continue as they are.
