Bethesda! Not exactly the acquisition we were expecting, but certainly more welcome.

I don’t know what to think of all these acquisitions. But I have a warm fuzzy feeling toward Bethesda for adapting Skyrim to VR so early on. Yeah, it was a bit clunky, but it was there and it was my goto game before Half-Life Alyx
Microsoft will keep that commitment, Spencer said in an interview. Future games, like Starfield, will be available for Xbox, PC and Microsoft’s Game Pass video-game service. “We’ll take other consoles on a case-by-case basis,” Spencer said.
Great, more console exclusives. Just what we needed.
