SOME doubts about exclusivity of Bethesda⌠i dont think will be answered here. 
Probably means the actual video is 1 hour, but I personally love watching this type of content even without expected big reveals or news.
Are any of those timed exclusives from Sonys own studios?
A roundtable eh? What are some examples in gaming of roundtables?
Exactly 
Those wanting MS to âstick itâ to Sony and declare ALL games from their newly acquired devs are going to be exclusive FOREVER, is hilarious.
tbh a roundtable in this context would probably just be a zoom call lol, so thatâs like any other interview (maybe like the Major Nelson one with Pete, Todd and Phil).
I am praying that you are being sarcastic

I honestly donât understand your point. Why would there be PR damage from exclusivity from Microsoft owned studios? And so what if they throw away years of PlayStation development?

Hmmm I see. Well it should be interesting! It would be so great if something Starfield, anything Starfield could be there but thatâs way more likely for E3 and that even isnât guaranteed yet.
Just pay attention to Philâs shelf

Ms did a few for the other studios they acquired, likely it will be something very similar
imagine loggin into the stream and you just see a round table in the back. Thatâs it
If such point exist and they are interested in pursuing it why wait for Bethesda?
They literally could be doing it now, or even go full 3rd party when xbone fumbled, so why havenât they and how bethesda changes that to the point it finally makes sense for them to do it?

As for anything regarding exclusivity thereâŚ
What if they use some language in there that makes people doubt what the real plans are. Something like âthis wasnât done to take games away from other platformsâ etc. Donât forget, after the Bethesda news last year Todd Howard did kinda lean towards this.
Most people said âTodd can say this, but at the end of the day Phil has the final say.â
But weâll see what they are going to talk about, maybe it wonât be covered at all. Itâs a subject more suitable for interviews probably.
Cant believe that there are xbox centric fans here that think its okay for Xbox to spend 7.5Billion in a publisher, invest in development, tech and salary and think its just fine to give games to the competitor that is blasting you in sales by like 3 to 1 who at every chances tries to lock games away from you.

Doomenstein? What would you cross between these? B.J. taking on the Demons and Doom Guy taking on the Naziâs? Maybe with a time warp where the Naziâs start the whole demon invasions? Or maybe a mash up where you can play either Doom or B.J. (assuming theyâre distant relatives?) through a similar campaign with similar levels but different skillsets while using the âfamilyâ armor?
This could be fun!
What about going a step farther and making it part of a cross-over as mentioned in another thread here about a Microsoft Mashup using the huge variety of Xbox and Bethesda characters? Maybe a âstoryâ wonât work well here but it could be a F2P battle royale game that could gain traction? (Iâd personally lose interest in playing at that point - I donât PvP - but I might catch a few streams to watch.)
Some people think that being âgood guysâ will pose no consequence to the platform.

I donât think it will be covered, but what Phil said at that time was the the goal of the deal wasnât to take games from other platforms, not that it wouldnât happen.
Ms saw in Bethesda a way to boost their 1st party portfolio and Bethesda saw the stability and possibilities of having their games seeing bigger investments and that was the goal of the deal.
Of course, there could be a resistance from Bethesda to go exclusive, but given Ms explicitly saying they were investing in both their exclusive portfolio I donât see they taking the deal for anything less than having the final say on that.
