The unthinkable has happened: Microsoft suddenly announced the acquisition of Bethesda Softworks, or more precisely its parent company Zenimax, and all of its IPs and assets. This means going forward all of these franchises should be exclusive to PC and Xbox consoles.

    Maybe their deeper pockets will fund faster development.  Waiting for the single-player successor to F4.

    Even though the Gamepass has been pretty good from MS  -
    In general terms over the years , they have not been a great, guiding force for PC gaming . 
    This is all about trying to bolster the Xbox sales / game library to beat out SONY .... so look for all your favorite brands/ games to be even more consol'ized then previously...

    Actually, not sure what to make of it yet. Microsoft is less disgusting than Zenimax is (was).

    Well another studio taken and destroyed by MS😿

    Those who abuse power, are nothing but scumbags! The challenge of power is how to use it and not abuse it. The abuse of power that seems to create the most unhappiness is when a person uses personal power to get ahead without regards to the welfare of others, people are obsessed with it. You can take a nice person and turn them into a slob, into an insane being, craving power, destroying anything that stands in their way.

    No Microsoft bought a lot of studios so that they will get first priority on XBOX and Windows game releases

    We shall see. That acquisition was an unexpected move.

    Hmm. Does MS have a big plan going on here, or just so much money that they're buying whatever? I mostly get the impression that MS' left hand rarely knows what the right hand is doing and vice versa... and that MS has about 100 hands all doing their own thing, and this acquisition is just one of them.
