Yet they have stated that when it comes to exclusive games for the zenimax purchase it will be a case by case basis. They also still release minecraft on PS4 which is a massive seller with kids. Removing that from Sony could have made some people switch over this new gen.

When Elder Scrolls sells 200 million then maybe it’s a relatable example haha. Minecraft is too big to limit, as much as I’d like to see MS be more aggressive with it. 

Case by case can easily mean Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online. Both have a dedicated community and getting next gen versions wouldn’t be out of the question. Case in point it would be a dick move to no longer include PS.

But MS seemingly has a simple rule: if a game has been announced as multiplat, MS will honour it. If not, then it’s theirs. Elder Scrolls and Starfield had a reveal trailer, but no platforms were announced. Also why games like Hellblade 2 are only going to Xbox. 

They were specifically asking him about future games not games already released. Your explanation for Minecraft only furthers my opinion on why MS should be selling it only on Xbox. It would make a killing for them and force kidsparents to buy the xboxgamepass.

Who cares what would be a D move. They purchased it and they should get it and make it exclusive. They are never going to get anywhere trying to be the good guys. They are being outsold by all their competitors and Nintendo crushed them easily even being released years later it's embarrassing. Also Starfield website did have a PS4 logo on it at one point so it was technically announced for Sony but MS has no issues removing it. They need to do more of that this is business.

A lot of their decisions though lead me to believe they don't really want to compete with Nintendo and Sony anymore. I think they want to be the netflix of video games and eventually step away from the hardware other than like a streaming stick.
