and how they will contribute to Xbox Games Studios pipeline over the next few years.

Hmmm
If they want to make the games exclusive to incentivize Gamepass, great! This would be an incredible way to make people join Gamepass or at least give it a try. If they want to keep Bethesda games platform agnostic because the revenue they’d make from Sony and Nintendo is too large to ignore, that’s okay too.
But whatever happens, I DO NOT WANT TO SEE XBOX ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK EVER AGAIN. I know that was before and Satya has a lot of faith in Phil and the Xbox Division as a whole, but if Xbox needs another revenue stream to prove that it’s an asset to Microsoft, then so be it. But rest assured, whatever decision they make, it’s going to benefit Xbox regardless. I just never want to wake up to the news that my digital library means fuck-all because MS drowned Xbox in the tub.

I’ve started drinking again, shit’s too depressing.
My dude grow up. Seriously, this isn’t healthy over a plastic fucking box and some games.
You’ve been on the fucking verge all day, step back from the ledge.

Had a huge ass comment but thought it’s going over the same shit so here’s just a smaller taste.
Games media and the like will never take MS seriously if they don’t make exclusive stuff. The fact this is even a topic is just proof MS needs to do the dirty deed and just make it exclusive. People keep saying oh but it will be on game pass and game pass is so good it doesn’t matter if it’s on other platforms, but that is just flat out bullshit.
I’m sticking with they will be exclusive but I’m not completely dismissing that they might not be, which to me is annoying not because I care if others get to play but more Xbox will still be a joke of a platform in the general mindshare, which it has been since 2014.
GAME PASS WON’T GROW IF CONTENT CAN BE HAD ON ALL PLATFORMS WITHOUT THE GAME PASS SUB, YOU ARE GIVING PEOPLE A CHOICE TO COMPLETELY AVOID YOUR SERVICE BY DOING THAT.

Hey friends, no insults towards media because they say something you disagree with. Even if you don’t think it’s well informed, focus on content. Don’t make it personal. Really bad look and tone for this community when people go there.

The language suggests Zhuge thinks they will be treated as XGS titles (instead of Bethesda-the-separate-publisher’s titles).
As how they should be.
Betheada is part of XGS its just a separate branch for administrative purposes only. I dont know why people find that concept hard to see lol.
Another thing is this would kinda undermine their own xcloud efforts, why put it on X platform and pay fees when you can skip that platform and stream the game directly to their TV. If the game is exclusive it will force them to use a “Xbox” platform, if they’re not exclusive then it’s a free for all. In future there would be so many ways to play Xbox games that skipping a platform or two isn’t really going to mean much.

Yep aka exclusive
Bethesda games will be Xbox games, they’re keeping their Bethesda name because they are maintaining the same company and culture. It’s the same thing as Disney buying Marvel. MCU is Disney but it is self sustaining.

Sigh
If Fable and Avowed can be exclusive why do you think TES wont be?
If Halo Infinite can be exclusive why do you think Wolfenstein and Doom wont be.
If Sea of Thieves can be exclusive, why do you think Fallout 77 wont be?
They’ll be exclusive guys. Stop panicing.

Yup. It is also a lot easier to keep them as a unit than to fire everyone in the publishing arm and then search for and onboard a ton of new ppl for XGS publishing arm. Best to let that team stay in place with as little disruption as humanly possible.
Exactly it makes so damn sense
Nah it will be Fallout 2077
