I believe it will be fine... it is just a normal procedure.

 

[Negotiator101]

Just a formality.

 

[Jemm]

Should be fine

 

[D.Final]

Wine goes well with Behtesda games.

You spelt Whine wrong.......

 

[D.Final]

You mean the Skyrim bugs

 

[Calverz]

They're not bugs they're 'Modder opportunities' 2021 is all about the Doublespeak

Or the more likely and no tinfoil hat required that this is just a formality.

Yup, you need to be drunk to not notice the amount of bugs.

 

[NickFire]

I can't imagine this is more than a formality. It's a huge merger but its not creating a monopoly of anything of the sort.

Look at Disney

"Sony to present arguments against Microsoft's purchase of Zenimax."

 

[levyjl1988]

If Microsoft purchases Warner Game Studios and Sega that would be huge. Make the games Xbox and PC exclusive, cause right now all the hype has been about acquiring the PS5 console and Microsoft shit the bed with the Xbox Series S and its tech limitations.

 

[yurinka]

I think there won't be any issue, even with Bethesda they will continue having a relatively small market share.

 

[N1tr0sOx1d3]

You mean the Skyrim bugs

I was going to post same thing. I need the wine to get through the Jank.

 

[Hendrick's]

The EU can't stop this even if they wanted to. This is more of a courtesy than anything.

"Sony to present arguments against Microsoft's purchase of Zenimax."

I was joking. If there were any chance of this getting blocked, they wouldn't have announced it and made videos with Bethesda studio heads.

 

[ethomaz]

"Sony to present arguments against Microsoft's purchase of Zenimax."

It is not Sony related... I think Sony can't even participate in the validation.

 

[D.Final]

Basically..

 

[Riky]

Great news as I'll be getting all Bethesda games going forward for no extra cost on day one going forward with Gamepass Ultimate, that's the only news I need to hear.
Apart from a Quake reboot.
