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

Sony probably would make Activision and Bethesda sized purchases, but they really can’t

I can see an EA or Ubisoft acquisition by Sony after this goes through. I kind of hope it’s EA. I’d like to see Phil Spencer try and argue that exclusives are bad and Xbox needs FIFA.
