I'm only spending $120 a year on a seemingly ever expanding list of Gamepass games I would have bought for $60+ dollars each, saving hundreds of dollars a year. Anti consumer? This consumer will have more money in his bank account thanks to Microsoft buying these studios. At this rate, I hope Microsoft buys Nintendo (my preferred device). They could charge $50 a month then and I'd still save money lol. This is the golden age for consumers who want to save money!

No, I am really sorry. Buying a developer after your competitor buys up seven, is nowhere near the same caliber as buying 7 studios and then a major publisher. Any double standards that were present at the Insomniac acquisition pale in comparison to this abomination of a deal.

Anyone who pretends this is in any way shape or form a positive step does not see the icy slope in front of us. They literally bought 14 studios instead of building up new ones, or actually invest in fledging low-level devs. Microsoft clearly shows their intent to pretty much buy themselves into an industry without any creative or visionary input, and kill off any competition if possible. But hey, if you are fine with that then more power to you

If you had a pc i could understand that you might think xbox has no games, but to have neither a pc or an xbox and say that is crazy. 

Wouldn’t be a MS thread without you in it engaging in console warz.

What an insane event. Gotta wonder what it means for future Bethesda games and where they will release. 

If anything the more likely scenario, albeit still not very likely if Xbox Series X is handled properly, is Microsoft cutting their losses with their IPs and selling certain ones to Nintendo.

Bethesda games aren't demanding. If you have a Graphics card from the past 6/7 years already it doesn't matter what you have it'll run the game.
