Twinblade★ 3,907 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 I can see their big franchises being timed exclusives. Keep them Xbox/PC to maximize sales on those platforms, then after some time port them to PS5. Its worth keeping in mind that MS would obviously be profiting from sales of those games on Sony platforms, so it wouldn't make sense to keep them exclusive long term.

jehurey 3,230 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 If they had their big name franchises as exclusives, in any manner.....Phil Spencer would've screamed that out loud on day one. he didn't. Instead he said "uhhhhhh........SOME games" I am excited for future Elder Scrolls Online expansion packs being Xbox platform exclusive. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Goukosan 2,252 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 (edited) "Some"..... lemmings expected "all" MS most successful acquisition has been minecraft, a series that the have kept multiplatform. Lmfao at lemmings thinking MS bought up a developer AND PUBLISHER with Bethesda and their parent company to not publish 3rd party games.

madmaltese★ 2,555 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Looks like it's going to be game by game decision. Should've been all. Now we see if by some they mean the big ones or the irrelevant ones. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

By some I assume MS will pass off some of their sad exclusive IPs in hopes they can resurrect them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think they'll do the opposite unfortunately. The big titles like Starfield and TES will be multiplat but best on XSX. Basically be like, get it free on GP or pay $70 elsewhere. Meanwhile some smaller titles will be exclusive. Say future Arkane games or Wolfenstein. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Only idiots thought that. Bethesda isn't even part of XBox game studios, it's likely it will partner with other devs to publish games even under MS. Anyone with two working brain cells knew this would be a repeat of Minecraft, their main goal was to boost game pass. Edited March 10, 2021 by Team 2019 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They can't possibly value the acquisition at $7.5 Billion, and Zenimax couldn't possibly demand a purchase price that high, unless the understanding was that the most popular IPs that they own would generate sufficient money by being multiplatform games. Lemmings truly, truly thought that systemwars OWNAGE over Sony and Nintendo was worth billions for Microsoft to spend money on. Oh and in completely unrelated news, Disney+ has now reached 100 million paid subscribers. They actually appear to be speeding up their rate of growth.

JonDnD 2,618 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 There are still multiplat deals with sony and games in development before the deal. They obviously cannot say all as in that wouldnt be true. Im not sure what people think they will say. Well besides the 2 games sony has a contract with and these games that were already done, everything else will be exclusive. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Playstation Tablet 1,725 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 Also by "exclusive" they probably mean timed exclusive to boot. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There is nothing stopping them from saying "Elder Scrolls 6 will be exclusive" "the next Doom will be exclusive" "the next Fallout will be exclusive" Nothing. Not a single thing. Phil Spencer could have announced that from the very first official day of the completed acquisition. If it was going to happen, that would've been it. Because that would've stopped people from buying a PS5 and use to buy the Xbox right now when it matters most. It didn't happen. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JonB 150 Posted March 10, 2021 Share Posted March 10, 2021 You're right . But those games aren't even announced . Those could be some of the future exclusives he spoke on . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
