"It's also why game companies will continue to be on Microsoft's radar. "We'll always look for places where there is that commonality of purpose, mission and culture," Nadella said, noting that the Xbox team has worked with ZeniMax companies including Bethesda since the first Xbox was released in 2001. "We will always look to grow inorganically where it makes sense."

The Warchest is open.. lol.

I don't use headphones on my PC for this reason you just mentioned. I got a long ass audio cable for have to situations but I almost never use it.

Yeah it sucks. Somebody needs to write some drivers or something.

That's why Microsoft will consider buying even more video game companies in the future, he said, and why it continues to invest in its Xbox Game Pass subscription service.

Spencer also said Bethesda will run semi-independently, in an effort to keep the company building the games that brought it success in the first place.

"Semi-independently"

"Semi-independently"

Makes sense.. Microsoft take a hands off approach with all their studios.

Monopolies are good for the consumer.

Blame @4daLuLZ, for posting the Craig meme..

Imagine if MS acquired Fromsoft, @Dizzy wouldn't be here with us anymore.

Iirc, you just like Doom in this list of games.

Lol I am surprised half the board hasn't blocked that guy yet. Dizzy is a shit tier troll at best.

Lol fanboiiis melting down. Love watching the cringe and salt.

You might as well hang it up if you’re reduced to blocking people on the video game sub-section of Karate forum.

Life isn’t going to be easy for you.

As evidenced by a 45 year old man lol’ing over reaction videos.

I've been a PC + Playstation guy for over 20 years. Microsoft's shift to console + PC market over the past few years has only benefitted me.

Wooow.

Incredible, coming from a scrub like you.

Do you use a PS4 controller with your PC? If yes, does the DS4's audio jack work with your headphones? Or are your headphones wireless?

I connect my DS4 to PC as a Bluetooth device but then I get no audio if I plug in my headphones (a common DS4 issue on PC apparently). That's the main reason I haven't bought a decent set of headphones, since I'd have to run a long cord from the couch... or maybe I should just look into a wireless set (as long as I can get 7.1 surround sound).

I got an Xbox One controller just for PC gaming, and the headphone jack works on PC if you use the included USB dongle. Not sure if there is a DS4 solution, though. It's so convenient, especially because I don't have any kind of sound system.

So I looked into this and it appears it does work for the Xbox one controller but you need the official adapter apparently.

There we go.

Interesting info released. Apparantly this has been pretty much a done deal since 2018. At about the 4 and a half min mark, this fact is displayed.

What's cool is that the Studio project lead for Obsidian said he's working on his own title, and says it's not Avowed...He's the same guy who was largely responsible for New Vegas.

Fuck me if Obsidian has been working on a new Fallout project for a good year or so already!

Have pre-ordered both a PS5 and Series X but still don't know which one to keep.
Series X has gamepass, Bethesda, etc. while PS5 has God of War, Horizon, Last of Us, Demon's Souls, etc.

Thanks for outing yourself as another loser on the boards. I appreciate you exposing yourself
