[Official] Microsoft has purchased Zenimax Media/Bethesda

[javiergame4]

Fucking out of nowhere holy shit.. Phil ain't playing around this Gen. Xbox has a nice catalogue of IP to compete now

 

[selfnoise]

HOL. LE. SHIT

 

[Slayven]

I am jaded game news wise, but that is huge as fuck

 

[Transistor]

Doubt it as a contract will have already been signed. This will probably be a minecraft like situation where titles still end up on competitor consoles I should imagine.

Yeah, I have a feeling this is true

 

[i-Jest]

Makes one think twice about not getting an Xbox.

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

Microsoft just made my next-gen decision for me. And hear I thought I was gonna struggle over what direction to go.

 

[MJForum Poster]

I can't remember an announcement of this magnitude. This is colossal

 

[PMS341]

Might explain why Doom Eternal for Switch was delayed. Had to re-do the box art logos at least ;)

 

[space_nut]

Boom :)

 

[Roytheone]

Crazy
So the exclusivity of death loop will be reversed now?

 

[BrokenBox]

Evil Within 3, when?

 

[platocplx]

Jesus christ this is massive. WHat the fuck

 

[Reckheim]

man, sony only players got screwed hard. acquiring small studios is one thing, but this ... i don't know.

[CloudsFromSpace]

Xbox has no games tho

 

[Zaubrer]

holy fuck

 

[totofogo]

Damn! Out of nowhere, agh.

 

[Dwebble]

Mother of God.

 

[Einbroch]

Well, that's it. I'm going MS this gen.

 

[M4xim1l1ano]

But war chest...

fucking YIKES!!!

 

[ekim]

What is happening with Deathloop now?

 

[Deleted member 8166]

No more Doom games on PlayStation and Switch? 😭😭😭

Click to shrink...

what? Microsoft released a lot of its games on switch so far. why would they stop?

 

[Monodrone]

Whaat the fuuuuck!!!

 

[HylianSeven]

OBSIDIAN MIGHT WORK ON ANOTHER FALLOUT GAME LET'S FUCKING GOOOOOOO

Click to shrink...

FUCK I didn't even think of this. I hope this happens.

 

[Zukkoyaki]

Massive for Microsoft.

Terrible for the industry in general.

Click to shrink...

This

 

[jwk94]

From out of nowhere! What does this mean for future Bethesda titles? Is deathloop still coming to PS5??

 

[LanceX2]

What an awful news...

Click to shrink...

Well...maybe they wont pull a Sony and make mainstream games one year exclusive

 

[ket]

welp i gotta buy a series x now lol

 

[Josh5890]

Folks we have an arms race here.

Seriously though, this is massive.

 

[BobbeMalle]

Jesus christ..
And Dishonored 2 is going out of gamepass.. are you sure?

 

[Deleted member 8593]

I honestly don't even know what to say.

 

[MrCibb]

Surely this is up there as one of the biggest acquisitions? MS gets not just the studio but all the IP. That's mental.

Pros and cons to this. Bad side, potential exclusivity for what was once not exclusive. Good side, FUCKING GAME PASS BABY!

 

[Cocksman]

Fuck. Your move, Sony.

 

[Kawngi]

Megaton!

 

[TheLionsDen]

That's something to wake up early morning.....

 

[Phellps]

This is huge. Also awful. Really wish these companies would just stop buying studios and exclusives.

 

[RR30]

Does this mean there's a miniscule chance Obsidian could make another Fallout?

 

[Kida]

Jesus.

 

[salary0n]

Wow, what a news. I don't even know how to react.

 

[Fergie]

PC gamers are fine. Xbox is pushing game pass hard.

PS as well I think. No reason not to keep the main series third party.

 

[Shozuki]

Whoa gargantuan. Elder Scrolls is a MASSIVE game - that becoming Xbox exclusive is a game-changer...

 

[Grimmy11]

Holy shit. Did not see that coming.

Can you imagine if they pulled Deathloop from PS5 and made it an xbox exclusive? Don't think they will based on previous acquisitions (Outer Worlds)

Not a good thing for games in general but huge for Xbox.

 

[djplaeskool]

God damn.
That's a big fuckin' deal.

 

[mhayze]

Wow - was not expecting that. Hope they do well under the Microsoft umbrella.

 

[Tan]

So does this mean I'll be getting Bethesda games day 1 with my pc game pass?

 

[Bear]

HOLY SHIT. God damn, Xbox Series X looking pretty damn good now.

 

[Hanbei]

That is huge. Wow.

Fuck. Your move, Sony.

Click to shrink...

What are hey even supposed to do?

 

[Agram]

God damn!!!!
This is huge

 

[Dega]

This shit is hard to believe LOL

 

[Arex]

No Elder Scrolls on Playstation I guess :/
