    Fallout now has iMacs that bluescreen whenever you try to use them.

    After the success of Breath of the Wild, the next Elder Scrolls features a magical doodad that looks a lot like an Xbox controller.

    As a primarily Playstation player, This is concerning news. Between Xbox, PC and iCloud, I don't see a reason why Microsoft would allow these games to come to PlayStation. The only thing I can think of is the ridiculous price MSFT paid for Bethesda. $7.5B is ridiculous. That may put pressure on MSFT to spread these games to PlayStation at some point.

    But with the Next Gen Xbox Series S console at $299, it might be easier for me to get that as a second console and take advantage of their GamePass platform.... ?

    I still don't understand how Xbox makes any money off that.

    I was just thinking back on this... This is an outrageous price to pay for Bethesda.

    That's 2 fucking Star Wars.

    This one thinks Microsoft just bought a lot of skooma.
    When this one said, "Khajit has wares," this is not what this one meant.
