Amazing news for xbox fans. Congrats on the acquisition. For FO and ES fans, not sure how this will effect you. I can see this going one of three ways:
1) studios are gutted for IPs and the talent eventually leaves. Games are now mostly gaas or A games made for gamepass.
2) nothing changes. MS gets either day one gamepass and or times exclusives. Rest still made and released as normal.
3) weaker franchises shut with layoffs due to corporate restructuring. Budgets realigned for gamepass which effect quality of the games as well content and how its delivered.
I know they're is a fourth option which is:
4) all games stay MS exclusive and no budget cuts, full haha with full budgets etc, but this is highly unlikely due to the direction MS is pushing for - making gamepass the office 365 of the gaming industry.
I dislike the 4th option as than when it's too little too late for everyone. I hope it's option 2 in some way shape or form.
