Microsoft buys Zenimax/Bethesda
5 years ago
General
Bit of old news at this point but a few days ago Microsoft bought Zenimax, the parent company of Bethesda, for 7 billion dollars
which is pretty huge in the gaming world. I suppose this is a blow for Sony because many of the upcoming Fallout and Elder Scrolls titles are believed to go Xbox/PC exclusive now because of this... buuut I'm a PC player as my main platform anyways so it doesn't make that much of a difference to me. actually it never really has, usually most of the Xbox game that interest me have launched on PC as can be seen now with HALO which is being ported to PC
I do wonder though... in the future, does this purchase with Microsoft now in charge mean that future Bethesda titles will have less bugs? Oh I'm sorry... I forgot... those aren't bugs, those are features...

FA+

both are equally pleasant so I don't see consoles becoming obsolete anytime soon
i mean, i prefer the snazzy, comfy gaming chair and the PC but that's just me
i jest but they are rewarding and fun
Buuuut on the other hand, as I said before too...Microsoft is kinda the 'play nice' team in a general sense (They've been quite cross platform for a good long while) so who knows. I'm sure they'd like to get buddy-buddy with Nintendo and keep the option open for portable Elder Scrolls games on Switch...
Such a weird time line we live in.
So we'll see how it plays out.

It'd be nice to see them hand the Fallout franchise to Obsidian.
