For devs, it's good news because the bills will be paid and job security should be higher. For the quality of the games, it should be good because of additional funding. This is especially true if the publisher gives creative freedom and doesn't go down the EA/Bioware route. For gamers, it's good and bad. Good because their favourite games can now make bigger and better games (look at Wasteland 3, for instance), and bad because they might have to buy a specific platform to play the now exclusive titles.
