Can we finally get a Doom Guy, Master Chief and B.J. team up?

Maybe Microsoft will have some bug control before bethesda releases their games.

Looks like I'm done with Bethesda...

The weak fall so the rest of the herd may live.

And just like that the games they produce died

I just hope i can play new Elder scrolls, dishonored, and fallout games on PC

Do they know that there’s a global pandemic going on right now? Surely some of that money could’ve been allocated to a better social cause DoMoreGood NoKidHungry MondayMotivationEveryDay NoKidHungry Microsoft ReachScale

Maybe THEY can fix Fallout '76...

😳

as long as they still release all the big titles for PC so you can mod them etc.

Honestly a better investment than TikTok.

I enjoy Pong.

Well at least Microsoft releases Xbox games for PC, unlike Sony who is crushing my soul by making the Demon Souls remake a PS5 exclusive.

RIP Doom. It was nice while it lasted.

I don’t even know what Bethesda consists of but the only thing that came to mind is Microsoft lost out on TikTok and said shit, we gotta spend this money-here, dropping 7 billion dollars like nothing. Probably was working on it before TikTok but that was my thought process.

Fwiz what’s your take on this?

👀

It’s not console exclusives ya dipsticks

That's a lot of money.

Me realizing the Bethesda didn't accept my bid if $54 and $7.4B in IOUs

It’s hard to say no to 7.5 billion.... so now Microsoft will come out w one more great age of empires and then suck again for 7.5 billion....

If you can get everyone to donate (Rough Guess) $0.93 it's paid for

I swear to shit I'm not buying an XBOX for Elder Scrolls...what in the actual fuck.

No God of War on Xbox? No Elder Scrolls or Doom or Fallout on Playstation🤣🤣

JaredVannett Fuck. There goes the TES series. Bye bye TES6.

Is it weird that a massive corporation buying up a smaller corporation can only make it less sleazy?

Microsoft is demonic as they contribute $$$ to the socialist party. VOTE Red across the Board to Keep our Constitution.

G27Status !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And bungie has the audacity to say they’re not buyable. Pfft bungie is full of it. Always has been.

Isn't Obsidian also owned by Microsoft? Does this mean we will get a Fallout game that isn't Rust but with Fallout brand recognition?

XboxP3 & aarongreenberg buying out major 3rd party developers with tons of IPs is major violation of anti-competitive antitrust laws JusticeATR Get on it Sony PlayStation davethach RohdeScott yosp hermenhulst . M$ needs to be stopped. This is unacceptable

no fear...

So they're going to ruin games that were already going downhill... Great

This is evil. If Fallout is xbox only we riot.

Oh. Oh, shit. Well...Mojang has been doing fine? Maybe this is a good thing?

Great news🤣 no more fallout for ps

Raptoresque

Who knew? Turns out the Minecraft Bedrock Skyrim Pack was a foreshadow of things to come. :P

Microsoft buys Bethesda, the company that makes hit games Fallout, The Elder Scrolls, for $7.5 billionMicrosoft announced Monday that it will buy ZeniMax Media, the company that owns well-known video game publisher Bethesda, for $7.5 billion in cash. Oh good, maybe we'll finally get a good Fallout Game again. Serious question. Can Microsoft buy out FOX? We need to take it down. It’s the main source of misinformation for many. Maybe some patriotic billionaire or company like Microsoft can buy it out, rebirth it as WOLF or something to finally feed people actual facts, not propaganda Todd Howard is a Microsoft employee now.
