That is a megaton. Probably like we have never seen before.



Imagine not having GamePass on your console...

Can this be considererd the biggest acquisition ever? Market's getting dangerously interesting.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

recent bethesda games haven't really became massives hits though,
ever since the mess that was 76,

fallout 4 was the last big thing and it wasnt that big like skyrim,
if they do pull another skyrim in elderscroll 6 then this acquisition would be a very excellent move,
but if the 79 bullsh'z continue then its just money down the drain

Microsoft ain't fucking around.

Reading the press release, they mention Bethesda games coming to Xbox, GP, and PC. No mention of Playstation.

RIP doom :(

Maybe on Switch

They'd need 6.2m people to subscribe to gamepass for a year just to cover the revenue fallout 4 alone made.

They will keep releasing Bethesda titles on other systems because they need the revenue it brings.

The only other alternative is to raise the price of gamepass.

They won't.

What has been announced so far will come to the platforms they were slated tocme to. But everything else, would be Xbox/PC exclusive. 

Or more specifically, gamepass exclusives. 

I won't say I saw it coming, but I will say I am not surprised in the least. This is exactly what MS needs to do to compete or to make GP viable. They obviously are lacking when it comes to having games to rival the best from sony/nintendo. This changes that.

What people should be worried about though, is what Sony would do about this. Sony would have to acquire certain studios too. If nothing else, from fear that if they don't MS would. 

Hence consolidation, its now not going to be enough to just have games on your platform, now, the war is going to be about making sure those games aren't on ay other platforms.
