I should not need to explain this one.

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

Bad, I think.

When game company own by corp, they focus on ROI rather than enjoyment and reputation.

You will see incomplete release, first day big patch, in-app microtransaction, battlepass.

And a game will cost like tripple A game, 69.99$, 89.99$, with multiple version like: Stardard, Deluxe, Ultimate, ...
