Microsoft Has Purchased ZeniMax Media, Parent to Bethesda Softworks and More

No matter what anyone says, this is big. Skyrim moved units like wildfire, a new legit Fallout will move consoles, they now have Doom and Wolfenstein. This will sell consoles.

No, they won't

Fallout 4 and fallout 76 were trash

Bethesda does good single player campaigns and Wolfenstein a always attract the Nazi crowd but it's to niche. Not enough.


Had they got Bethesda and WB wed have a problem

The biggest boss move is that they will be making money off the ps5 "timed exclusives" in the long run

Chess not checkers

No more Fallout?1?!

If Phil just lets the Bethesda teams cook, they're good. Id just came out w/ Doom Eternal(a GOTY candidate), and Fallout 4 and Dishonored 2 were critically acclaimed games back in 2015/2016.

If anything, get the Oblivion/Fallout teams on a new engine. Other than that, Xbox is fine, and they have a ton of high quality studios.

fallout 76 has come out since then though. i would say maybe being bought out would be for the best for them, butlooking at whats going on at 343 doesnt inspire hope. and the fallout/elder scrolls modding community is not gonna be happy either

Awful lot of people ecstatic about this move who also fervidly claim to not be stans. I'm just sitting back watching though

not a Stan but what’s right is right, you poke the bear too damn long and he’ll poke back

The American Way: Throw money at the problem

The Japanese Way: Address root cause by making great games

MS gonna learn the hard way which model wins out in the long term.

Going forward software > hardware.

Microsoft been telling people the plan, people just haven't been paying attention.

 

[eufemism]

somebody on reddit said it, but it makes you realize this console wars stuff is total bullshyt





microsoft could buy literally any studio if they were really serious about gaming



like they could dead ass buy ubisoft, 2k, and EA tomorrow without any effort
