    This is a good thing. Look at what’s happened to Minecraft; everyone thought that the world was gonna end but because Mojang made money, they were pretty much left alone. For the same reason, I doubt that Bethesda will be left alone, because unlike Mojang, they aren’t consistently profitable.

      Major difference is minecraft was already on different platforms so just pulling the plug will kill the game & Get crap ton of backlash. They said themselves they will honor any games that already have been dealed to come to playstation example (ghostwire Tokyo & deathloop) & other that are already on multiple platforms like the elders scrolls online.. etc but any future games they really don't have at all since Sony's player base is dwarf by mobile player base(xcloud)& PC which are platforms that have been added to the xbox ecosystem. They really dont mind losing some money by not letting playstation users get them. Force them to join the ecosystem via mobile(xcloud, PC or xbox) or force Sony to let gamepass on playstation(dont see it happening anytime soon)

      @Aírmanareiks I would like to point out you are the only one talking about the concept of "new engine" = throw out all your old code, don't reference or reuse it, and start from "scratch". This is just something that doesn't happen in development and nobody has said this here. I can't say that 100% since I don't work for these companies yet, but I look at my old projects all the time for references at the bare minimum or even copy over code from them for new ones. It sounds silly for you to suggest that someone said otherwise. The idea of pure "from scratch" likely doesn't exist in the dev world.

    They lucked out with having that service available and setup when it did. Almost as lucky as Nascar with the 1979 Daytona 500 running on CBS. CBS expected 2-3mil. viewers. Huge snowstorm keeping everyone indoors on the east coast meant they got 6.5mil. viewers. And the viewership of the company grew to reach it's absolute peak within 30 years (2007-2009).

If you want to make plugins for servers as I was a plugin developer here is an amazing resource, recommend 1.8 as 1.9 pvp is wack and isn't used much on servers. You can use it for 1.9 to.

    Here's the thing, they reported to a bunch of shareholders which demanded the games be produced with the least amount of effort and for maximum gains. So they made buggy unfinished ones with awful monetisations.
    Now, they don't need to do it so much with Microsoft. Instead, the objective is to produce quality games that drive people to the xbox platforms.
    People buy playstations because of the better exclusives, and Sony makes a ton of money from the other purchases people make while on their platforms (games, movies, subscriptions, etc.).
    This acquisition, and the gamepass are Microsoft's attempt to challenge Sony's dominance.
    I think Bethesda will make quality games again (which is good), but they will be exclusives (which is bad).

      Atleast it's a nice thing though that Xbox "exclusives" also go on PC now too.

    okay so what happened is zenimax decided it wanted to sell the company sometime after skyrim came out. they attempted to quickly raise their net worth before going on sale by making games with paid microtransactions. this worked well for fallout 4, doom, and elder scrolls online. thus they decided to to create the abomination that was fallout 76. they wanted to show any prospective buyers "look we put a secondary team on this game and not only did it turn out decent but the turnover rate was much higher than many of our prior games" if bethesda didnt fuck it all up with greed and incompetence i would think microsoft would have probably paid closer to 9-10 billion
