No different to what Microsoft did with getting Bethesda. Elder Scrolls was never a Microsoft exclusive and many PlayStation users loved playing Oblivion and Skyrim. Microsoft used below the belt techniques and now they get the same back. One more compared to all the PlayStation 4 and 5 users who will never get to play elder scrolls or fallout again because of Microsoft’s greed.

That is factually incorrect. Elder Scrolls 3 Morrowind was a lifetime original Xbox console exclusive, and Elder Scrolls 4 Oblivion was a 1 year timed Xbox 360 exclusive. 2 other Zenimax studios, id Software and Arkane, have previously released Xbox console exclusives as well, Doom 3 and Arx Fatalis respectively. 

Besides, MS buying whole studios is simply not equivalent to Sony paying a publisher, Activision, to lock content off of PC and Xbox for 1 year, when those Xbox and PC gamers are paying the same $60-70 price tag for CoD as the Playstation owners are. 

thank you to remimd us that ms done a lot of timed excusivity deals.
