I'm kind of shocked they would even be considering console exclusivity for Minecraft moving forward, CoD of course is too big and they are still mandated to keep it multiplat until like 2033 because that was part of their acquisition deal, but Minecraft is even bigger than CoD, they averaged 40m copies a year the last 3 years, a  game selling 40m copies a year in it's 12th, 13th, and 14th years on the market is unheard of outside of Minecraft.

I would say everything smaller than CoD and Minecraft makes sense for console exclusivity. Elder Scrolls probably stands to lose the most copy sales over it of the series smaller than those two, but it would also move alot of Project Helix hardware. Asha clearly wants to revive Xbox as a platform, and that just isn't going to happen without significant exclusives.

From what I remember PC is the biggest platform for Bethesda RPGs. And this sounds like they might go Xbox/PC for everything not named CoD. Minecraft is an odd choice.

After today's patch, I was able to do the final side mission, and by extension, the final hardcase! Time to grind Versus and Horde Siege



You called down the thunder, now reap the whirlwind

When it comes to exclusive .. please for the love of god MS, PICK A FUCKING LANE ALREADY.
