Microsoft acquired Bethesda after hearing Starfield would be exclusive to PlayStation | TheVerge

They just want you to buy their hardware and use their subscription services. At least Microsoft has their stuff on PC day one.

PC gamers would have been sad having to wait a year or longer to come to PC. Same for modders. Or maybe Sony would have let PC be allowed. Or not. They are a wild card for PC.

That would have really sucked.

I really don't see this going through, there's so much push back from the FTC and rightly so. When competition just ends up being one company buying up everything, that is not a good thing and we should not be praising the acquisition.
