In 2021, at the hight of Covid and game published buying studios left and right, MS purchased Bethesda for $7.5 billion. Sony was snatching up every BGS game to be exclusive and MS was panicking and just bought them out before Starfield go fall into the hands of Sony. 2 years later, Bethesda only released 3 major exclusives games.

Hi-Fi Rush was great
Redfall was Redfall
And now Starfield looks just like a regular Bethesda game, nothing revolutionary.

Until the next Elder Scrolls game, no major AAAAA are expected to be released from BGS.

You have to wonder though, Im sure a lot of the deal was based on Starfiled, and that falling into the 80's must be a big kick for MS.

Swindle? They've always been up Microsoft's arse. Ever since Morrowind came to XBOX.

Oh yes, I'm sure the decision to spend $7.5 billion all hinged on the hope that IGN would give a glowing review.
