To be able to say all of Bethesda games are DAY ONE and free on GAME PASS when games will be 70$ is the biggest fukking win here for Xbox nikkas.

For every failed MS project I’m sure I could name one for Sony and Nintendo too. All major corporations have missteps but I see you’re emotional and overlooking that.Your comprehension doesn’t make sense. I can’t make you comprehend it.
If you simply buy shyt without proper management...you end up like RARE.
How’d RARE turn out for MS?
How’d Nokia turn out for MS phone division???
Lost BILLIONS!!!

Phil is basically letting these studios do what they want and take their time.
Avowed(Obsidian) will be a GOTY candidate in 2022 or 2023, the same for Hellblade 2.
This isn't the same Xbox, Uncle Phil got us
Xbox brehs... remember, we don't need to even sweat trying to keep Bethesda exclusive...
There is nothing of value on the market in gaming today compared to what gamepass gets you.
Console wars are literally beneath us at this point.

It's vague for a reason. It's essentially a "only in our ecosystem" response made to keep up the bullshyt "I'm your friend" shtick they employ in their PR.
And court aint even showed up yet. The real fukkery starts later
Congrats to Microsoft. This is a huge get for them, and ultimately may benefit the experience in Bethesda games going forward, assuming that a lot of their aggressive monetization was driven by Zenimax. The fact that they were open to this sale in the first place would perhaps suggest that, but to be fair, offers of $7.5 billion aren't just coming in every day.
Plenty of questions here, though.
1: If they paid $7.5 bil for Zenimax and ALL their studios, what the fukk was Bungie asking for? I remember reading a week or two ago that they wanted to buy Bungie back, along with Destiny 2, but allegedly the cost was too high.
2: Microsoft will probably honor all previous publishing deals they have for games already in development (Deathloop, for example). But it'll be interesting to see what they seem necessary to hold to just PC/XBox.
3: With Gamepass such a focus, are we sure they even want to make any of those games exclusive? It'd be one hell of a selling point to say that buyers can either pay for the game outright on other platforms, or just get it day and date on Gamepass.
4: Are we close to entering a period similar to music where a subscription model is the primary way to monetarily get customers engaged? That could be a whole different set of problems, as musicians are very up front with the fact that the actual music is making them less money than ever before. Microtransactions are already a nuisance that many studios need to return acceptable profits, what's that look like when they're not guaranteed a huge wave of $60 purchases in the first couple of months?
5: When does the Gamepass model become unsustainable? I know that Microsoft is making a ton of money off of it now, but they've just taken on a metric fukkton of production budgets with all the stuff these studios are working on. Also, the purchase was cash, so they won't need to be as drastic as most other companies when it comes to bringing coats down post sale, but they'll still probably need to level the books out a little bit. It'll be interesting to see who ends up leaving.
