RTTP: The Zenimax Acquisition

[Rndom Grenadez]

A year ago today MS shocked the gaming world and purchased Zenimax for $7.5 Billion. In hindsight, while it hasn't paid immediate dividends, it seems like a move that MS had to make. With Sony's aggressive timed exclusives and the potential of securing Starfield as exclusive as well, which could have be a debilitating blow to MS, it seemed like the perfect storm for MS.

A year later what are your thoughts on the deal and what do you expect from the partnership in the future?

I'm looking forward to the next inevitable Doom on the Series X and hopefully a continuation of Dishonored and Prey.

What say you Era?

Good luck with your thread, sir.

I still hate it. Especially if notoriously multiplatform "on everything" series like Doom are Xbox/PC exclusive going forward.

One year later, I'm still not a fan of major publishers being bought out by console manufacturers, and I desperately hope it doesn't become a trend for the industry as a whole.

It's been only a year where Bethesda barely released anything. Ask me in 3.

Click to shrink...

I was wondering about whether or not Behaviour Interactive owns the IP or Bethesda does. Rubi deserves a better game.

I'd argue Xbox buying Bethesda was more important than them buying Zenimax...

This is not a party I will be returning to

 

[Jawbreaker]

My thoughts are I hope the games turn out great.

 

[Devilgunman]

Best investment they have done. I mean, they own Arkane and Double Fine now. These 2 devs don't miss.

This "RTTP" will just be a thread for platform warring and we all know it. We're not doing this.
