    No one is spending 7.5 billion to burry or kill anything. I belive they gonna make ESO PvP finally working with Azure and Microsoft software quiality is much beyond what we experience with ESO. This is very good news in my opinion.

    Maybe...I think the 7.5 B is more about TES VI the new space game than anything.

    First off Microsoft didn't kill Halo. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean its dead. Second, it looks like you play on PS4 as your banner shows so that leads me to believe you are still big on the whole console wars Xbox vs PS4 nonsense which probably means you hate Microsoft for that weird reason which lead you to making this pointless thread.

    Thanks for that but you're making an assumption, which makes your post pointless. I played Halo before Bungie sold it to Microsoft and in my opinion, the game play suffered.

    Your OP is assumption which makes this whole thread pointless....

    Sad but true... Look at Killer Instinct for instance, the remake wasn't even properly finished.

    BUT I think they're gonna aim for bigger games first *ahem* DOOM, ES6, etc

    Belive me when i say this, nothing can be worse than what bethesda has done so far. So anything MS will do, will probably be an improvement because everything is a huge mess now it is impossible to make it worse.(speaking about ESO and other bethesda titles)

    It's funny seeing people talk about their worry for TES as a series as if Bethesda didn't spend almost a decade re-relasing the same ES game.

    Seriously as long as Microsoft can refrain from just feeding us the same game for 9 years I'm pretty sure we'll be fine. How hard is it to make a ES story anyhow? "You are X, Chosen of the Seven Seas, Lord Herald of Sky Mountains, Akatoshes Favorite Binky and you must save the world from The Daedric Prince of Slightly Hostile Muffins." I mean lets be honest most of the charm in ES games is the actual world building/dialogue options and not really the main story.

    I think TES series will remain the same, but eso will benefit from this. Well actually both TES and ESO may benefit from substantially less bugs. I doubt microsoft would be ok with Bethesda and Zenimaxs care free attitude towards bugs. Maybe they will actually start hiring testers to iron these problems out before the new patch/game releases.
    I wrote a poem that I titled, "The ganker's delight."

    As you lay upon the ground, cry not little pawn.
    The pain will pass as quickly as my blade did take you,
    but my delight will last and you will respawn.
    My heart simply cannot contain my joy, when I ply my trade.

    The fault lies with you, your skill was lacking.
    Now your salt is mine forever, can't you hear the laughing?
    Once you were so proud and now you are reduced to this.
    A miserable, loud deuced fool.

    With every tear you drip, with every excuse you let slip.
    All of your insecurities and worries bring a smile to my lip.
    From your despair I have ripped endless glories,
    but our affair is over now. Be afraid for I will return for more.

    I have received many titles, to my allies I am The sniper Emperor and Grand champion hero of the Pact. However these titles mean little to me, it is the ones given to me by my victims that I prefer. To them I am "Xv1er", "trash", "no balls", "zerger", "noob", "cringe", "no skill", "camper", "100% new", "the reason this game is dying", "pathetic", "a sack of piece of [snip]", "mediocre", "absolute inbred", "beyond a virgin", "ganky dork", "fat smelly 40yr old virgin", "little girl", "daddy", "exploiting loser", and every [snipped] word known to man.

    MS likes money
    ESO already exists on PS
    Easy to keep that money flowing so ESO not likely at risk.

    TES VI on the other hand is a different ballgame. There’s a chance they make it exclusive, but they risk NOT cashing in on a huge playerbase. $70 x potentially millions of PS5 by the time it’s ready for release is nothing to sneeze at.

    If it gets a PS5 release they prob get my $70 as a pre-order or day 1 release. Make it exclusive and you wait till i get around to building another gaming PC, which may not happen at this point in life. So it basically depends on if they want my money for that title or not.

    You pay to help your business. There are assets that MSFT values. There are also likely some that MSFT does not value. I have been part of a company purchased for more than that and sometimes profitable products are cut for various reasons. Our company wasn't bought to destroy that product. That product just didn't fit into the goals of the purchaser.

    You will often see large companies sell a business unit to another company. That is because keep that business alive might be detracting from focus or the margins might not feel worth it. But a more focused company might value that business more. Apple or Google might buy a company just for their patents, with little interest in continuing their product lines.

    Activision and EA are far, far worse than MS is.

    Without MS Halo would have never been anywhere nearly as successful as it was, IMO. It was the original "killer app" game for the Xbox, and thanks to bundling and special editions, the franchise gained a foothold in a very crowded market.

    It might be edgy to say that MS killed AC, but SOE killed AC by way of Everquest. By the time Turbine got their act together and started making new content for AC, EQ had already pioneered the concept of the expansion pack. EQ was on expansion #3 when the first xp for AC dropped, and then Turbine decided to work on AC2 while EQ churned out a run of expansions. By the time AC's 2nd XP finally dropped, EQ was on #9 (Dragons) and #10 hit 2 months later.

    We'll see how this goes.

    Honest opinion: Better to be owned by Microsoft than other “worse” gaming companies.

    If you see me anywhere. Know that I am sitting back with a bag of popcorn, watching as ESO burns the goodwill of its player base with practices that only disrespects the players time like it did to me and many others...

    If a game does not respect your time, best thing to do is move on from it and find something else.
