I don't anticipate much will change except Playstation users will be screwed. Fortunately, Microsoft abandoned the Universal Windows Marketplace it seems, and is releasing games on Steam. But we'll see. If Microsoft starts releasing Bethesda games exclusively on their storefront, It will be very tempting to purchase the fastest Frigate on the seven seas, and then to start holding open interviews for Navigators who know the East India Company's trade routes. I'd mail a money order for the game(s) to Microsoft with a handwritten letter than tells them to go ♥♥♥♥ their Windows Store.

I totally agree they have been failing with their own game launchers since Zone came out almost 20 years ago.

That's a weird angle to take lol.

One of the biggest, wealthiest and most successful companies in gaming just acquired Bethesda because they are so desirable, is another way of looking at it. You don't go headhunting for someone because they are sh*t lol.

They bought zenimax for the ip’s they own. If Bethesda was so amazing they would have survived without being bought out.

Beth and Zenimax were surviving just fine. WTF are you talking about ?

Microsoft obviously made this deal as a big incentive to win over gamers to use the Microsoft platform: Xbox, PC, Gamepass. Beth and id alone are still massive studios (with a lot of talent and tech) that ppl love.

Bethesda Game Studios is an amazing studio; and they fully support modding. To assume MS would pushout Beth and instead allow Obsidian to make Fallou5 with the Unreal engine is a bad move IMO. Sure, allow Obsidian to help, but BGS should have the lead and continue to use an UPDATED Creation Engine. Long live modding !

That means Obsidian can make GOOD Fallout games again that are actual RPG.
Since Obsidian are part of Microsoft too.
All for it.

Lol maybe Fallout New Vegas Obsidian but current Obsidian can't even write thier own IP's with any decentcy.

Well it makes you wonder if they planned to purchase both ZeniMax and Obsidian and make them collaborate on something new ^^

I don't personally think it'll happen, but there is at least an increased possibility.
Tbh, I wasn't a huge fan of New Vegas or 3 so I don't mind either way.
