- Fallout Boy is dead. Thnks fr th mmrs
Remember the days when we all loved Bethesda? Todd and Pete and friends, oh those were the days. But times change, people change. And for Microsoft, Bethesda was pocket change. So let’s look into what this means for you, the consumer. Or something.
So get ready for Fallout Boy and Elder Scroll, for Zenimax, is so much more.

maybe microsoft will force them to finish their games instead of letting the modders do it
would be nice
As far as I remember all Microsoft titles have been completed projects.
Which isn’t a common quality anymore
here's hoping that "it just works" won't be a straight up lie next time we hear it
No. Microsoft. Like ea will accelerate their development cycle. Leading to less content
Sir Illuminar The Valiant not at all, at least not under Phil Spencer.
“We are pleased to reveal the new CEO of Microsoft, Todd Howard!”
Every version of wondows now comes with Skyrim preinstalled.
still better than solitaire
Best outcome
Minesweeper 76
The good ending
@@YitzharVered The fake good* ending
2 things happen. Bethesda becomes great again, or it dies
There is no in between.
I'm fine with both
They should fire off toad and use a different engine for their games..

Todd sold Skyrim for 7 billion, economic genius
yea
What a scam, I can buy skyrim for $60.
You guys don't get it, with with Game Pass Todd is gonna make you buy Skyrim for $15 every month for the rest of your life

You mean Skyrim 2
@Providence I thought that already came out. It was called Doom Patrol.
you mean chess club simulator
Now Microsoft could make master chief and doom guy kiss if they wanted to
That's not straight

The only good thing I can see coming from this is bethesda finally having money again and not having to ruin their games trough microtransaction moneygrabbing.
They can have MORE money tho
Yhats the only thing what matters to em
They don't think it be like it is, but it do
They didn't have money before?
@@CarrotConsumer they clearly were short in money, refusing to create a new engine, constantly using the worst tactics to make money (TES Blades and Fallout 76).
Hopefully this will give them extra budget to not ruin the coming games with nonsense.
@@lgp5619 Oh they had money. It just went to bonuses
Todd Howard got the last laugh
He got Microsoft to buy skyrim for billions of dollars when it was just 20 on steam
And with the gamepass people are going to pay monthly for it

Man this guy is either a genius or the stupidest guy alive
"A future where Nintendo and Sony don't exist"
Never have I been so scared before in my life.
Sega would probably start making consoles again
Nintendo doesn't truly compete with Xbox/PlayStation, I doubt they'll be going anywhere unless they pull another Wii U
@@sergiowinter5383 sega wouldnt be a game comp[anmy if they didnt exist neither nec
They will exist, but be owned by someone like amazon or google
No one should be surprised if MS buys Sega next year, just saying. They've went on record as looking for a Japanese dev, they have history with Sega. Hell they're all buddy buddy with Nintendo now. Maybe they don't buy nintendo but maybe they make some sort of cross-licensing deal and you see each others IP on each others platform?
The only reason companies like Microsoft aren't being torn apart by anti-monopoly laws (other than corporate greed and corruption) is because they typically have a big competitor which tells the world that they can' t be a monopoly with such an important rival (coke and pepsi run by the same principle). Thank you for reading this random post.
Monopolies restrict competition. How does Microsoft buying Bethesda factor into restricting competition
Laws in general enable monopolies more than they restrict them, anyways. Monopoly and trust busts are barely enforced unless it's somehow beneficial for the government, which it isn't in the massive majority of cases.
Its more of an Oligopoly but your point still stands
Coca-Cola and Pepsi also have different business strategies. Coca-Cola only deals in beverages and markets its flagship drink with appeals to tradition and comfort. Pepsi is primarily a dry food company and markets its flagship drink with celebrity endorsements and flashy ads showing people having fun.
because Microsoft is not a monopoly in any market lol.
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. I’m praying that Microsoft will renovate Bethesda studios... hopefully their games become more polished and their brands more active
Ya and they will give ps broken versions of the games like they did with Minecraft.
@phantom killer087 I mean you're not wrong.
hopefully they just let Obsidian make Fallout, I suppose the one good thing out of this is that Bethesda executives will think twice before making a shitty decision.
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)
corporate consolidation isn't good lol.
I just want Microsoft to make Bethesda use a modern engine
@Aírmanareiks It can sometimes be harder to update an engine than create a new one. Its not like all the source code from the prior engine is obliterated when you make a new one.
@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.
Then their games will be worse
Oh boy, I cant wait for Skyrim to come to my Windows phone
Skyrim pre installed on your windows pc
Are windows Phone even a thing still?
There's also Halo on dreamcast everyone forgets about that one
Never actually came out other than a fanmade port
Everyone forgets about Dreamcast, the forgotten console.
So underated.
@@bigtimehardline03 yea I know he mentioned atari when was talking about porta of halo which is fanmade as well so I mentioned the dreamcast port

5:52 "Any fan of RPGs and bad consumer practices can tell you Bethesda is a big deal" xD
angry face
The truth hurts
xd
This is either a management control move from crisis based on Bethesda's recent almost business suicide, or, Bethesda was on a fastrack to shrivelling into Oblivion, pun intended, and Microsoft figured it was worth enough to at least own.
Badda Bing madness
Actually this move was entirely intended. Zenimax wanted to sell it’s self. So they had to make themselves look as appealing to buyers as possible. Which means solid nonfluctuating year round source of revenue. Which means micro transactions, subscription services etc. Fuck our customers we want someone to buy Us.
Hopefully now that zennimax has sold. Microsoft will be able to cut that shit out.... hopefully.
You say business suicide I say pushing up their prices for a favourable purchase of themselves. All their practices while bad PR wise made them a lot of money. And in turn made them a more expensive buy.
How did Todd get Microsoft to buy Skyrim: Special Edition? Absolute madman
Todd finally did it... He finally made Microsoft buy Skyrim.
"Halo is the most overrated fps franchise of all time."
What does overrated even really mean?
@@wahlex841 I mean it was the only reason the original xbox even sold anything. It literally made the platform. The last few games have been shit, but the franchise as a whole isn't.
@@Game_Hero glad someone gets the joke xD
It means a person thinks something is worse than everyone else.

I remember when learning that Microsoft bought Rare, I wondered why Nintendo sold their shares of the company, then I learned that many of the talent left.
Your comment got my dislike, your opinion doesn't line in with the facts.
@@Niop_Tres Maybe we'll see some other shakeups, like Sega or Square Enix getting taken over.
At least Nintendo is pretty safe after the Rare loss. Intelligent Systems, Gamefreak, and Creatures are all private companies, and I don't see them really changing their course with their close ties to Nintendo.
@@romulus2473
It would be really interesting/terrible to see what would happen to the sonic fan game community if Sega gets bought by Nintendo.
Marvel and Star Wars were 8 billion combined, so no, this price was crazy.
Also worth noting, Star Wars (2012) and Marvel (2008) have also made Disney a colossal fuckload more than $8b already. Another unrelated note, Disney was worth a little less than $100b when it bought Star Wars; Microsoft is worth $1,590b.
That's because both Marvel and Lucasfilm were near bankruptcy when Disney bought them.
Graxx Why the fuck did Sony not buy marvel, jeez. Don’t they own a lot of DC or is that someone else?
Sam The PE company that’s owns a 25% stake in Zenimax estimated a few years ago that the whole company was worth around 2.5 billion. Starfield better be good.
Adil Sony doesn’t own anything of DC
*Like, I don't think Microsoft can do any worse than Bethesda at Bethesda games...*
*...but Microsoft has let me down before...*
Fallout New Vegas remastered pls, or a a Fallout on the West Coast!
no
The originals were on the west coast
A Fallout in Mexico!
It would be cool if they did somewhere outside the U.S. I'm not a Fallout Lore Master but surely there's vaults in other countries. Hell maybe some places are doing better than the U.S is in Fallout.
Fallout South East
Who is that stock footage guy with the beard? Because I want more!!!
*Stock owners asking their sons about how the game market is going before making decisions*
This surprised the shit out of me when I heard about it!
A pleasant one to be sure.
Microsoft owns Obsidian... and has the rights to Fallout...
most of the people that made new vegas such a great game have looong left obsidian . What you're implying is sadly just a dream
Quake was such a huge leap ahead of everything else at the time.
True 3d, lighting, multiplayer... written by a handful of people.. we'll never see such a large jump by a single game ever again.
Todd Howard’s chess game is impeccable he’s eight steps ahead of us
Lol I was already screaming at my screen at "Come at me"
“Both the best FPS game and the most overrated FPS game. COME AT ME-“ *ad time*
Perfect timing
The inclusion of the OG PlayStation intro sound hit that nostalgia button just right
Fun fact: microsoft can buy both sony and nintendo and have like 800 billion left
Buttttt sony and nintendo will probably refuse
nonstop4life gaming and they’d probably get split anyways for becoming a monopoly. That would literally be illegal
@@krypticscythe2012 yes
@@krypticscythe2012 but if it was legal and every other company got bought they would be worth like 2 trillion
nonstop4life gaming yeah they’d lose a giant part of their worth anyways.
As long as the next Elder Scrolls is on the PC from day one, im good.
It'll have to be; how else is Bethesda supposed to know how to fix their games?
So you're telling me that Obsidian and Bethesda are under the same umbrella again?
o h
b o y
But now they are equals
With all this recent news, some part of me believes that at some point in the future, maybe years from now, we will see a news headline as absurd as "Microsoft Game Pass is coming to the Playstation 5!"
Given that EA is now on Steam, MS and Epic and EA Play is included with Xbox Ultimate...
I'd give it about 12-24 months. I don't think MS would say no to mopping $5+ dollars a month from otherwise Sony Fanboys
Tyler is owned by his insecurities. So whats next.
13:15 I’m not quite sure about that, Sony has a market cap of $130bn, Activision a cap of $74bn, Nintendo a cap of $70bn, and EA a cap of $39bn. Collectively over 300 billion dollars. I’m not sure google could buy all those companies “and not even blink”.
When you said Nintendo and Sony could lose out in gaming in 10-20 years... that hit me hard on a personal level
Bill Gates: Buy him out boys.
Microsoft Goons: *smash up Bethesda*
I hope microsoft realizes that by acquiring bethesda they have also received the responsibility of sifting through .jpgs of Todd Howard to attain genuine feedback
a small price to pay for bethesda

What next? Microsoft owns Activision-Blizzard, that's what!
I personally believe that Bethesda and Obsidian will switch out making Fallout games while Bethesda will continue making Starfield and Elder Scrolls
Yeah I'd Be lying if I said I wasn't worried.
I was about to flip my lid over him calling CE the worst FPS of all time but that outro was so funny I don’t have a come back anymore lmao
As a minecraft modder, if they removed mineraft from the mojang launcher, there would be extreme piracy. Minecraft is already ridiculously easy to pirate and has so many mods.
Hey could you give me a tutorial for modding stuff?
@@wrytard3876 Sure? Um, first learn how to program, basic logic gates and variables. So learn if statements, variable types etc.. It depends what game you want to mod, but for minecraft there are excellent tutorials: 1.8 tutorial (usually used for plugins) th-cam.com/video/VhOSL7rGb10/w-d-xo.html . 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. You could probably just look online, minecraft has so many resources to find, so go find yourself.
The shot of that levitating woolly mammoth still makes me laugh for some reason.
I would love to see Obsidian remake Fallout 1 and 2 with ID's latest tech.
“The most overrated FPS of all time”
Arbiter the prophets have lied to us
According to public recordsCatholic church is worth like around 30 billion, Microsoft is worth like 1.8 trillion so that means Microsoft does have 6x more money then God lol
Glad to see you feeling better again Tyler, the pre-Covid videos were great...but I could feel your pain
I'm surprised Todd hasn't been made to walk the plank. He's the face of everything microsoft will want rid of.
2020: Microsoft buys Bethesda
2022: Microsoft buys Activision
2024: Microsoft buys Sony
Microsoft was going to drop the big bucks on someone. 2020 must be Bethesda. 2022 oh it is activation blizzard.
Mircosoft’s handeling of minecraft is probably why I mostly trust them with this.
And now they own Activision Blizzard and it is almost 10x the price of Bethesda's deal lmao
But they also get overwatch, candy crush and cod as well as other big money makers so it makes sense
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).
But Microsoft won't make Bethesda games exclusives because they don't want to be seen as the "The bad guy"
@@danilopetrovic5697 that remains to be seen as so far it's "on a case by case basis', but I assume any unannounced IPs might go exclusive.
@@admiralteddy you might be right but we'll just have to appoint general "Wait and see" until then :)
Atleast it's a nice thing though that Xbox "exclusives" also go on PC now too.
If it was Sony they'd just make it only playable on PS5 and then probably add it on PC after like 2/3 years.
(Although I really really hope some existing IPs like Doom gets added on Switch)
Dear God, my bandwidth can't handle 1440p - why, Cody? ***WHY??***
Looking back from 2022... another thought I had:
Microsoft's Gamepass subscriptions went up thanks to COVID, but have not come back down by large numbers (yet).
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).
Microsoft: Buys Bethesda. Nintendo: we don't do that here.
