Xbox acquires Bethesda

This is ridiculously massive. If MS plans to make the big guns exclusive (doubtful), I don't see them being included in GamePass on day 1. But with this and All Access, Xbox is finally equipped to potentially give Playstation a good fight in the hardware space. Hopefully Sony won't respond by acquiring a massive group and instead buy smaller studios associated with them (Bluepoint, Kojima Productions, maybe Oddworld Inhabitants) and expand their own studios.

Would love for them to buy Supergiant (one of my fav devs), Remedy, and the creators of Kena. If Kojima gets re-focused on gameplay again, would love a KJP buy also.

OT:  This is a bombshell. I had a feeling there was something else big coming. As much as $7.5bil is, it’s still just a drop in a bucket for MS as one of the top 3 largest companies in the world. This is good for me as an investor of MS. It’s a freakin megaton against Sony, tho. Only Bethesda game I’ve played is Doom, which I loved. Ironically, just started Doom Eternal last night (disappointed thus far).
