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

[Loose]

Bethesda itself as a company ain’t holding up without actual sales in its corner fam. That Gamepass shyt ain’t covering the costs to make all these games.

They'll have sales these games are on steam and xbox. And yes 50mm subs x 10-15 dollars a month can easily support development

That's 500,000,000 -750,000,000 in revenue a month on top of what they make from game sales microtractions etc. You guys thinking like its still 2012.

Bethesda shareholders this morning:

it’s under zenimax which is not a publicly traded company

This is literally what is most important honestly, imagine a world where we get FONV2 with a budget and more than a year development time it should be a reward for everyone who survives 2020

They got RPG and FPS genre on lock now.

man this whole convo has me wanting to play new vegas...I’ve heard nothing but praise for it but never found the time to play it...it’s on gamepass too but it’s also $4.49 ...I think I can get a $5 gift card for free

Cot DAYUM. "Game Pass game" meme died a early death

yep...they don’t have to make any of these games exclusive to sell more consoles which I don’t even think is first priority for them...if/when they acquire more studios and get more games on to gamepass...some ppl will make the switch to xbox on their own...pay $70 for these games or pay $25 and get them on gamepass...this huge move is just a start but it’s gonna get to a point where it’ll behoove sony to play nice with MS and get gamepass on their consoles which I believe may be more important to MS re: gaming than amount of consoles sold

They gonna be bundling Gamepass with Norton Antivirus, Mavis Beacon Teaches typing, Office Suite, Skype

Just GP it since Xbox owns the company now and it ain't leaving. Spend the money on the DLC.

What's your GT?

I did not see this coming at all..

Bethesday and Obsidian Entertainment




If the next Fallout and Elder Scrolls are xbox exclusives... console might actually have a real fighting chance next gen

right now I’m not personally impressed with their library bcuz they introduced gamepass after I spent years racking up games for free/at heavy discounts by using reward points and shyt when they had digital sales...but it’s definitely a great deal to many right now...and it’s going to get to a point where their library is going to become undeniable to me the more games they get on there

In 3 years game pass will be must have for all the exclusives it’s going to have

thats exactly why im waiting for them to BC it for the series x i thought they were gonna do it for the one X but they stopped BC to focus on the new consoles....shyt the series X might do it automatically

This is bigger than Sony/consoles.

MSFT is fighting Amazon, Facebook, Google, Apple, Netflix, etc on the gaming front.

Can't help but wonder how gaming will look at the end 2026/27

has me wondering if the aforementioned companies will buy a publisher as well.

or maybe one of them tries to buy playstation (not saying sony would sell tho)
