The fun part is actually to do this, but to never say it clearly.Hopefully soon, so they can publicly say "Fuck off Sony Ponies, OUR games will all be exclusive!"
The debate would finally be over

And Sony Ponies can then tell them to fuck their mothers right back since Sony exclusives will still be much better

Wrong. Its an Xbox acquisition same as NT, Obsidian, Double Fine... The writing here is pretty specific.

Probably the most unbearable statement from Sony fanboys before launch "Lel no exclusives, If I wanted to play Halo I can play it on my beefy PC" now that Sony announced PC exclusives I dont see this statement anywhere anymore its too funny!

That only means their games will be available on Xbox.
MS created a new division called Vault, that is NOT part of the Xbox division, to put Zenimax studios in.

Wrong again. Vault will be dissolved once the acquisition goes through.

Well if that's the case then maybe Playstation gamers are real gamers™ afterall.
Imagine being stuck with only console gaming...

A newly created Microsoft subsidiary (‘Vault’) will be merged with and into ZeniMax.
Hope this is a step to move Fallout from Todd Howard's hands.

Would be funnier if they said nothing and just left them hanging for years to come.

I fail to read the word Xbox in that PDF... All it says is that Zenimax will become a division of MICROSOFT, not Xbox.A newly created Microsoft subsidiary (‘Vault’) will be merged with and into ZeniMax.

No, those people were already going to get those games. Nothing was taken away from them though.

Welcoming the Talented Teams and Beloved Game Franchises of Bethesda to Xbox - Xbox Wire
Critically acclaimed creators of The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Wolfenstein, DOOM, Dishonored, Quake, Starfield and more join Team Xbox Today is a special day, as we welcome some of the most accomplished studios in the games industry to Xbox. We are thrilled to announce Microsoft has entered into...

I may be mistaken but that doesn't exactly read as if their content will be coming to Playstation

Man the people who think these games will be on Playstation are delusional.
I do think you will still see MS releasing games on PS, but not in the way you are hoping or expect. Consider that Fallout game you could download on Switch, or getting Cuphead like an eternity later. That type of stuff may still be a thing. And yes of course all existing contracts will be honored. But you're not going to see Skyrim or Doom day and date on Playstation, and if you ever do, it will be like when Sony ported Horizon to PC, by the time I could get it used at Gamestop for $5 during a promo lol.
I can't wait for MS to port a game to PS like 7 years after it comes out, and then to see people hollering about how they were right all along LOL.

Neither will you find that mentioned in any other acquisition.
(*Unofficial) Microsoft has just acquired Playground Games
What an excellent move, I'm amazed it didn't happen sooner. I'm eagerly looking forward to where this partnership leads and what new experiences are in the pipeline. https://beta.companieshouse.gov.uk/company/07057499/filing-history

Yeah they gain exactly nothing from being silent at this point.

Apart from all Bethesda's games. lol.

Huh?
What I’m saying is they don’t gain anything from being vague or silent about how they’ll threat Bethesda’s games regarding exclusivity. People can’t buy the consoles yet anyway, it would be the perfect time to announce the exclusivity plan so people can easier decide where to put their money. Waiting for E3 or whatever would be stupid.

Wow the desperation is bad. It's going to hurt real bad when you "suddenly" have to decide all Zenimax games are trash.

I have to admit, that your posts are pretty damn good.Well if that's the case then maybe Playstation gamers are real gamers™ afterall.

I struggle with every single one of them, because I can't be sure if you are being serious or just trolling!

Congrats to MS for getting this deal done. If nothing else it says how serious they are about gaming and are here for the duration. I hope MS lets them alone and does not force them into development corners.
I will be watching with interest where the platform availability argument ends up. I still think that PlayStation platforms will not be getting the games that don't already have deals attached.

Well I did like Fallout and several other Bethesda properties so this is going to suck.
One positive I do hope will come from this, is that Microsoft will turn around to Bethesda Game Studio's and tell them to ditch that horrible fucking game engine they claim isn't the problem to all their games.

Then more fool them. Whilst I don't have an XBOX, nor do I plan to buy one, I vowed never to buy another Bethesda game made by BGS again until they sort their shit out.
I'm not harming my PC with their jank again.

Maybe Starfield will finally push them to actually overhaul it but I am not holding my breath.

I'm being realistic. Nothing has been announced on the Xbox exclusive front and Zenimax is not directly under Xbox, seems more like a Mojang (phone autocorrected to Mahjongg in a previous post, duh) deal than additions to Xbox division
If I want a Zenimax game and they are exclusive to Xbox I have no issues getting one (I'm already making a list of games I want that aren't available on Playstation for when I get an series S later this year) (pc is not an option for me).

I would like to hope so. I haven't finished Skyrim or Fallout 76 and the simple reason why is because those games had game breaking bugs that ruined my save files and suffice to say, I was happy with my character and story line, I didn't want to start again and couldn't think of all the things that I had done up to that point to recreate my path.

Dont mind me, just taking salty notes for future reference.

They should release demos on the PS5 but not the full games.

Just drag them along like simps
"Oh maybe if the new ESO expansion sells 25 Million We'll let new games come to PlayStation"
"hmm, If only there were more Fallout 76 Subscribers on PS5 then maybe we could sell other games here"
"The creation club sales on PS5 are too low to bring a new game, buy more"

If it's not inside the Xbox division, it is not an Xbox studio, it's a MS studio inside Vault division.
That doesn't stop them doing exclusives if MS decides to or stop them from later being integrated into Xbox division.
