!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

Do you believe Microsoft acquisition of Bethesda will be overall good or bad for the industry? (self.gaming)

Personally, on the one hand, yes they are going to have more exclusives, but that’s PlayStation’s whole model since forever, they can’t talk about that.

On the other hand, PS acquires and/or founds small/medium size studios, they don’t go and buy Activision-sized companies and make established cross-console AAA titles exclusive overnight.

So I think I’m against the acquisition, but not really sure lol

From your language it seems you're really just pro-playstation.

This isn't about Microsoft vs Sony, this is about your choices as consumer. Sony doesn't get to complain because their entire business model is exclusives, but I get to complain. I don't care that Sony has been doing it (in fact they've been better recently, still not ideal but better).

You have everything to lose and nothing to gain in this, with the exception that Activision blizzard is filled with sexists and rapists and that hopefully Microsoft can clean them out.
