I think this means they won't have to alternate Fallout and Elder Scrolls, they can do both simultaneously.

[Celery Man 20931]

yeah but also Obsidian is in the Microsoft tree, with the nest

That is a pretty robust creative company. The net few years could show some pretty innovative products. Maybe.

Also, perfect timing for this news. Wasn't going to get a Series X at launch, but now, I am definitely pre-ordering tomorrow.

And the quality should improve.  MS has one helluva stable - something like 23 large and small studios now.

Meanwhile, EA buys companies, shuts them down, pisses away the IP.

Bethesda and Zenimax quality had gone to shit lately.

LOL, but glad he’s apparently happy

MS now owns Fallout.

MS also owns Obsidian.

See where I'm going with this?

He was Lynda Carter's husband.  Married her in 1984.  That's an amazing run.
