I love most of the Bethesda games and played a lot of them over the years. I love especially those from Arkane and id, but also MachineGames and, of course, the Elder Scrolls series. Since I don't own a Xbox or a capable gaming PC and I don't plan to get neither of them in the foreseeable future, I probably won't be able to play future Bethesda games and thus entries to their established IPs on the platform of my choice, the PS5.
AFAIK there is no example in gaming history for such a huge acquisition of a game publisher, wasn't it? Anyway I just can't imagine that Microsoft will release future Bethesda games on other platforms than Xbox and PC with maybe a few exceptions for Switch. For a company that yells from the rooftops that the platform doesn't matter on which you play (as long as it is a PC, Xbox or mobile device ;)) that is a bummer to leave the millions behind which aren't on those platforms.
Lately I was thinking about playing one of the latest Bethesda games which I haven't played so far like Dishonored 2 or Wolfenstein 2, but as soon as I think about it my desire to do so completely vanishes. Those games are finished, but yet I still have some kind of FOMO regarding any possible DLCs or more probably future entries.
Same goes for Deathloop and Tokyo Ghostwire which is even more confusing. Both of them are timed-exclusives for the PS5, but any possible sequels probably won't hit the Sony console. Last but not least I'm a huge Indiana Jones fan and yet I'm not quite sure about the game from MachineGames. I can imagine that considering Lucasfilm Games is behind this it will be released on platforms other than Xbox/PC as well, but that is not guaranteed.
Yea just my thoughts at this point. How about you ERA?
