People who break copyright are cunts. Imagine working on a project for years, spending millions to produce it, only for some nob to rip you off.

people think copyright infringement is victimless, it really isnt

Some AAA game developers are cunts. They produce a half finished games with pay to win mechanics that are ripping off everyone. They add in gambling elements to get kids hooked, they create payment methods that allow children to pay by mobile phone credit circumventing the laws around credit cards and age.

Imagine spending £60 on a game and find it isnt even finished, then finding that they want even more money for the stuff that they used to put in the game but have now taken out so they can monetise it.

It's not even victimless and they know it - they are shameless in their approach to ripping off the public, especially the younger public.

shit happens everywhere

Microsoft have today bought Zenimax studios who own Bethesda.

So it looks like ALL Bethesda games will be coming to game pass

Doom
Fallout
Elder Scrolls
Prey
Dishonored
Wolfenstein

EDIT

Plus Obsidian and Bethesda are now sister companies which mean Fallout New Vegas 2 really could happen!

Another EDIT

Confirmed all old games and new games from Bethesda Softworks, Bethesda Game Studios, id Software, ZeniMax Online Studios, Arkane, MachineGames, Tango Gameworks, Alpha Dog, and Roundhouse Studios WILL be on game pass.

$7.5B Microsoft have paid.

Think the games will still be on PlayStation but this is huge newd

That's pretty huge news tbf, although I doubt they take their games exclusive as it would lose them so much money. IF they do though, that's a console seller. ALso, if it means Bethesda go back to making proper games instead of shitty online games, then that's great news for everyone

Game pass is already great value for money and this has just made it even better

Bethesda are also publishing PS5 exclusives Deathloop and Ghostwire Tokyo so how is that going to work as technically it's Microsoft

They make them absolutely dogshit?

Or more likely, they have hundreds of smaller offshoots producing hundreds of games at any one time and they honour the contracts they inherited when they purchased the company.

Also, are they exclusives or are they timed exclusives? Both on PC as well and I'm not convinced either are games Microsoft are all that worried about

I can see both those games coming to Xbox and PC in the future.

Todd Howard of Bethesda has confirmed also Bethesda games new and old will still be multi platform however ALL Bethesda games now and in the future will be on Game Pass

So, pre-orders open at 8am...... Shall I save £200 and just get the Series S rather than the Series X, or keep my Xbox One X and wait a year?! :?

I only really use Games Pass, so the lack of a disc drive isn't a deal breaker but I do like shiny graphics :)

Thoughts anyone? :? :/

I'm going for the all access deal at Game. Just hope I manage to grab one.

Not a bad option to have - I don't want to have a credit check and live 40 mins away from nearest Game or Smyths so can't do it anyway...plus already got two years of gamespass on my account so buying upfront if i do go for it.

Which one are you going for and why?
