Next week.
The squirrel @Klobrille shared his thought about Bethesda, personally, I expect option (2) No Exclusives. Bethesda franchises has a huge fanbase in all consoles and yet it started its journey with Nintendo fans back in 2017, so the good choice is not to demolish Bethesda legacy.
Iâm ok with âNo Exclusiveâ option
But, thereâs always an exceptional chances : )
I expect that you will be wrong

Give me your business reasons why Xbox would make one of the biggest video game acquisitions at 7.5 billion in history only to have Bethesda function as before to put their games everywhere including PlayStation. My common sense view of that would be comparable to Phil Spencer getting the Microsoft CEO and Board to just piss away 7.5 billion to prove it is possible.

Nothing like spending 7.5Billion to keep the status quo in the gaming landscape!
LOL, I will truly question my own sanity if Xbox does something crazy here. Imagine watching Nintendo and PlayStation be super successful from their exclusive IPs and spending 7.5 billion to get some incredible IPs that you generously provide to PlayStation owners for âreasonsâ.

Itâs actually impossible that things just stay the same across the board. The amount of money they spent obligates them to have a reason, an strategy for the future. If their strategy was to use money and leave everything the same and hope that something goes in their favor, Nadella would never have accepted it.
I think after the commitments already in place, they will be 100% exclusive. Iâm sorry, but you donât spend that much money to sell another personâs product.
I think itâs appropriate that Gamepass is sometimes referred to as the âNetflix of the gamingâ. Netflix has made many acquisitions to put its service beyond the reach of any competitor. Netflix does not sell it service by putting it on Amazon Prime or Disney Plus. They keep exclusive to their platform so people in vest in that platform.
That is exactly what MS is doing. Theyâre selling the service. The only way Bethesda games appear on a Playstation platform is that if they have the Gamepass app on the console.
Soon it will be available everywhere via streaming. Whether it be PC or a smart TV app. And people are going to sit their with a straight face and think MS is going to fuck up all those potential subscriptions by selling their game on the Playstation? Iâm sorry, but they are suffering from delusions.
You can flip this to the strides microsoft was taking with Street Fighter and Final Fantasy and now in the console space their games seem to be playstaton exclusive. Companies throw money, so they can have games exclusive to their platform.
I think Minecraft is a special case because it wouldâve been bad to make exclusive since that game is much bigger than gaming.
If the games would be ALL multiplat they wouldâve already told. Remember all that was said yet is: âcase by caseâ and no reasonable person reads a ânoâ out of that.
Since this thread is talking about same topic as other thread, may as well repost it here tooâŚ
Regardless of what happens immediately in 2021 with Zenimax/Bethesda, this will be an interesting point to revisit in 3 years 2024 to see how/what strives have been made.

I have Edge installed on my laptop as a backup but I use FireFox as my web browser. It always works and I never have an issue.
i have Firefox on my desktop too but i use edge as my main because for some reason i canât watch YouTube videos for long periods of time on firefox because it spikes my cpu usage but edge itâs no problem at all.
Oh, damn. Never had that happen. My laptop is an Acer Nitro 5 and it rarely gets warm or the fans going. YouTube runs well for me. No issues. Of course, im not a PC gamer so I donât play games on it even though I can. lol.
Bethesda will have its own conference this year.

So apparently atlas wants to know if they should bring their games to xbox
Microsoft needs to nip the exclusive or not exclusive conversation in the bud next week. Once they officially announce that the deal is closed I donât want to hear anything about, âoh its a case by case situationâ or having to wait for them to announce a game to know itâs platforms. I want a clear cut answer. Itâs only been 6 months and the exclusive conversation is already tiring. Nobody wants to deal with this for the rest of the generation.

I agree. With Sony and Nintendo you know whatâs up. Even if Sony brings games to pc and ps4 itâs still within its ecosystem. If Microsoft isnât clear or goes multiplat with Beth people are gonna be pissed
