Microsoft buys Bethesda for 7.5 billion

I don't think I have played a single game from these devs. That being said, Game Pass is the best value in entertainment, IMO. I'm finishing up Man of Medan now. Xbox really is on track to be the Netflix of gaming. I love it. This next generation is shaping up to be outstanding.

You've never played Doom, Fallout, Elder Scrolls (Skyrim, Oblivion, etc), Dishonored, Prey, Rage, Wolfenstein or Quake?

That's not a complete list, lol.

MS did not buy Bethesda and the flock of studios that come with the company to put games on Sony platform. The big single player titles from them will be on PC and Xbox game pass

I just do not get why Sony fans call this out but their claim to diss xbox is that they have no exclusives to make them buy into xbox. Now they do but they want MS to be the nice guy?

MS can put those games on PS5 if Sony puts Naughty Dog titles on game pass

This is not going to happen, you can buy gamepass on pc or buy an xbox.

Once MS made this investment this is all about building game pass. They do not need sony fans because in order to put the games on sony they gotta give sony a 30% cut so why would they do that and not allow those sony fans to buy into gamepass on pc or buy an xbox.

If you are a ps5 guy and see that those games on xbox are something you want to enjoy/ Why not buy a cheap 300 xbox series s and get them on game pass instead of having to drop 70 if it was on playstation. Makes no sense. A few 70 games on ps5 from that company pays off for xbox series s

There's a difference. This is not a dev but a publisher. This is the equivalent of Microsoft buying EA or Activision.

No there is no difference, MS bought them so now they are the publisher and bethesda still the dev.

Just like Sony is the publisher of Naughty Dog games. They won the company and publish that devs games

Same now for MS and Bethesda

Sony publisher/ Naughty Dog dev

MS publisher/ Bethesda Dev

As if I could turn down a check for $7,500,000,000...

.. but it kills me this is the way the industry keeps on going.

I hoped to see more privateer studios at this point. The EXACT opposite has happened.

There's a difference between Bethesda Softworks and Bethesda Game Studios. Microsoft released a statement that they said that they will let Bethesda continue to be independent and continue to Publish games.

Bethesda and all of their studios of have not been placed under the Xbox Game studios banner either.
