Well, Obsidian is finally getting their chance to produce an Elder Scrolls game.
It's called Avowed and it's set in their Pillars of Eternity universe. I say this game is more worthy of anticipation than any ES game.

Microsoft says Bethesda will produce games for other consoles "on a case by case basis". I'm hoping that is just them trying to put the frighteners on Sony, to get money or other concessions out of them. I hope that Obsidian do get a chance to do Elder Scrolls. Frankly right now I don't trust Bethesda, and I suspect they'll get way worse under their new ownership.

Spencer then came out and said, and I quote, "this is not about exclusives". And given the amount of money they would lose playing that card, I doubt they will make the games exclusive.
That said...is it really such a loss? Bethesda is on a downward trend. Losing Obsidian was a bigger blow than Bethesda.

Probably not, but I hate to see TES and Fallout be run further into the ground quicker under Microsoft. Although to be fair, a lot of the damage has already been done to Fallout thanks to 76. Still it could have been worse, EA could have bought Bethesda.

Yeah, okay, the games are likely going to be exclusive to Xbox. As usual, big bro Spencer may have said they won't make them exclusive, but then MS proved once again that Spencer is just a pretty face. There was a tweet from the Xbox channel recently that stated that the acquisition was "absolutely about availability on Xbox services". So...yeah.

Not sure if you've been paying attention, but Outer Worlds has gotten two new expansions (or will get a second).
I know, not ES, but essentially the same type of game, and now they're under the same umbrella.

Yeah, might not be a huge problem for me now, as I'm seriously considering getting the new Xbox instead of PlayStation.

Not surprised. MS is even claiming any new content for Outer Worlds will be optimized for the Xbox.

It's more about Sony being an awful company really.

Yeah but Sony is actively aiding the suppression of Hong Kong in it's user agreement. I understand it's difficult to buy anything not connected to China these days, but I kinda draw the line at companies blatantly supporting the CCP.

Those rules only apply to people who list China as their region of origin and Sony was required to do it by their government. The reality is MS has been complying with many of the same laws for far longer. 20 years, in fact.
Now, if Sony starts banning people for even mentioning Hong Kong during their games, that would be a problem.
