OMG!?
what will this mean for the Fallout and Elder Scrolls series of games?!
How is it a bad day for PC gaming? Microsoft owns Windows. Most of their titles are and will be available on PC. They even distribute games on other PC platforms besides their own storefront. There's no chance in hell TESVI or FO5 will be exclusive to XBX/S if this is the concern. The elephant in the room is rather in how they will handle the exclusivity from iD, Bethesda, MachineGames and Arkane for their console competitors like Sony.
As far as I know Microsoft has always "owned" Windows
It's a sad day because you have yet another game developer being eaten by a mega corporation. In this case were headed for more dumbed down X-Box style games. I came up in the mouse and keyboard era where you had to customize every piece of gear and weapon. Now it's one button fits all console type gaming - with Microsoft's X-Box "vision" pushing dumb down forward.
Anyway that's how I see it so.... again, bad day for gaming. That's me.
