This is pretty huge. Fallout and Elder Scrolls is right up there with Final Fantasy for me in terms of games that define if I am going to be invested in a platform. If a Fallout or Elder Scrolls were to become XBOX only (on the console side) I would have no choice but to get an XBoxSX. In contrast the _only_ series that ever had me invested in the XBOX ecosystem was Halo. I got the XBONE because my friend gifted me The Master Chief Collection.

Fallout and Elder Scrolls are the most important properties in gaming for me. That's why I'm terrified right now.
And, as a PC gamer, all I can say is that Microsoft had better not fuck up those franchises by forcing them to become "games as a service" -centric. They've done it before and killed Lionhead as a result. Fallout/Elder Scrolls have always been developed with mods and modding in mind, more than any other major series, and that had better not be thrown aside by Microsoft's streaming agenda.
I have absolutely zero faith or trust in Microsoft and it wouldn't surprise me to see them screw things up. I hope that doesn't happen but Microsoft's history doesn't make me very optimistic.

Well, Bethesda was already on the way with Fallout 76, which rightfully flopped.
