Which begs the question, what else Sony snatched for such a big response from MS?

We're not delusional fanboys like the usual suspects. It's a massive move from MS, pretty plausible. Personally, I don't like Bethesda games, only one I mildly liked was Rage 2, but generally those titles have huge fanbases behind them.

Yep. It'll shift consoles. More than GamePass. More than BC. More than cheap, digital only specs.
Microsoft HAD to start pulling out some big exclusive games to stand a chance this generation, and this is certainly that.

From is too niche to be a counter to this. The Souls fans are a dedicated but small fanbase. The only way to counter something of this magnitude would be buying Sega.

Didn't they say they were going to stop doing things like Minecraft?Wonder if they'll keep the games multiplat or if they'll be "exclusive" now
I would guess it'll be like Minecraft?
Buying a studio and releasing the games from them everywhere.
Or were they just mentioning the colabration part with Switch and MS?

I guess a note of caution: does 7.5 billion actually get you exclusivity on Elder Scrolls and Fallout? Because that's what's needed here for this to be the killer move it appears to be.

That war chest opened
You got there first, I was just going to make a snide remark about the "War Chest". Now they just need a major Asian acquisition and they'd have a complete first party.
Why would Sony have snatched anything? Why would MS react to Sony? MS are in it for Gamepass and game services.

750M in exclusive deals rumors. Also they are for a while looking into studio acquisitions.

They would need to pay multiple more money than Sony had already agreed upon, it's not some kinda joke that you take your ball in the middle of the match and go home.

No clue. I would have thought they'd want that Elder Scrolls $$$ they'd get from PS.
Fallout (4 and probably 76, installed it, never played it) is kinda shit, but I loved Skyrim.
If not, I guess the last Bethesda game I'll be buying will be Ghostwire lol.
Bethesda owns Tango Gameworks, Japanese studio. We might get The Evil Within 3 now

7.5B get's you everything, lock stock and barrel. MS has been good about letting the acquired studios follow through on existing contracts, so I'm sure there will be a few Bethesda titles still coming to competing platforms in the immediate future.

Ask me about my wife's perfect butthole
Bethesda has existing publishing contracts in place they have to honor.
Outside of that, MS now owns them.. and can do whatever they want with anything that doesn't have a contract.
Meaning exclusivity.

Seriously worried about Tango. The rest will be fine.

Sony can't really compete on this scale. You'd need an Amazon or an Apple to get into video games in a big way to rival the kind of expenditure Msft can go to.

Advance Gaming. You gotta be kidding me.
Rare have been stuck in a N64 timeloop for years.

It's competition, but yeah... there will be a lot of BS incoming for sure.And how the anti-consumer gang will claim how good this is for the industry

great move by microsoft but I don't like the game pass strategy we want big AAA games
and I don't think the game pass subscription model can sustain multi hundred of million dollar developed game
these games can not make it even after 1 or 2 million copies sold at full 60$ price tag
I suspect most of these studio will develop small to medium size games

Ok this is fucking huge. I mean think about being able to play TES, Doom and fucking Fallout in a price of a gamepass. This just makes GP an absolutle beast. I mean holy shit, if the quality on GamePass exclusives will be as normal exclusives ... damn. I think Sony and their 80euro games are in a pickle now.
As a person who was never interedted in buying xbox now I am thinking that it is worth to get xbox just for those cheap exclusives. I mean I am not a huge fan of TES or Fallout but I like to play them when they are half of the price. But with GP and having additional wolfenstain and Doom... thats nice.
It's getting fucking HOT in here guys!
