PS5 only gamers, assume all Bethesda games go exclusive. What now?

Yeah I’m likely PS5 but if I HAD to pick someone to buy it would be a PC company as I’ve got PC, Switch, PS4 Pro.
If I had my wish though zenimax wouldn’t have bought id and maybe Carmack would still be there.

Every Sony fanboy pulls a gaming PC with 3090 out of their ass when they need to, and then in the very next topic talk about how 99% of PC gamers have potato PCs and play mobile looking games only.

I’m not super into their games. Maybe doom but that’s about it.

Microsoft would be insane to ignore all the money they could get from PlayStation gamers. All the upcoming games from Bethesda will still be going to PS5.
As for the future, here's what I think, Microsoft will allow Bethesda to release titles for PlayStation. The only difference being, PS5 will be full priced and Series X/S/PC will get them day one on Game Pass. I really don't see the worry here. I'll probably have a fully upgraded PC by the time Starfield releases anyway. Hopefully that game ends up a knockout.

And what is this suppose to mean exactly?
I'm not talking about a hypothetical situation in which Nintendo or Sony should allow their games all all platforms for more cash if that's what you're hinting at...
Microsoft made the jump to be the publisher of Bethesda. If the sales of PS5 reflect the current gen landscape, than it would be in Microsoft's best interest to allow Bethesda to make games on PlayStation. You encourage more people to get Game Pass while still making money off those that stick to PlayStation.

PC exists.
Not that I’ll play it there.
Buying a series X is more practical for me compared to the outrageous prices PC has in my country.

I'm willing to bet your life on it.

I’ve only ever played 1 Zenimax game in my whole life - Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion back on the PS3.

no matter that only <2% of total steam users can game above 1440p, doctor has said to always tell them "Yes!"

Yep, totally possible but you also have to imagine how Game Pass, which is now at 15 million subs, will snowball if they don't put their games on PS5. Short term loss of money but long term 15 dollars a month from 20, 30, 40+ million subs at some point will make it worth. I'm sure they have some smart people working there that will figure it all out.

Like others have said, PC is the answer. I've mostly played Bethesda titles on PC anyways. There just isn't anything that's going to get me to buy another MS console that will just stop working after 2 years like my One X and 2 other 360's did.

Alot of people had already decided to either go with ps5 or xbox though, and many had preordered. You, just like everyone understands that, and the responses show it.

Hopefully they can figure it out. What I really want to know is, what do publishers really feel about Game Pass? Will Microsoft have to raise the price in the future if publishers start demanding a larger slice of the pie. Things could get complicated. I'm still getting a PS5, but if Microsoft can knock Game Pass out of the park, than maybe I'll pick a Series X up after all. I know my brother is getting one so he may pressure me into buying it anyway.

I'm simply saying that reaching the maximum number of gamers obviously isn't the only factor, or we wouldn't have exclusives to begin with.

Yes, because their strategy of putting their 1st party games and gamepass on PC clearly supports them not wanting consumers there...
Better hope you don’t like those games too much because you know where the sequels will be!

By the time ES6 comes out I'm sure the Series X will have seen two price drops, would possibly pick one up for that and Fable 4 as long as that's good but I still wouldn't sign up for GP.

Never said this. Xbox is where they make the most money in gaming. That's basic math and not refutable.

I get the best stories from RPG's, and I was only getting the XSX first to play with friends... this solidified it, I can't wait to see how mindblowing games are going to look on either system.
I started not liking Sony's first party catalogue, they're too focused on action adventure games with quite a few gems of exclusives here and there and they'll always have those great JRPG's that I love. Maybe in the future.

Facts. They are good at playing the bipolar game. Digital Foundry is biased and MS shills. *2 hours later* Digital Foundry said Xbox dev kits are harder to use and ps4 it's like butter.
