Why would Microsoft buy a huge studio and then make those games exclusive to the platform?
Microsoft told the courts they wouldn't do that with Bethesda and lied.

They didn't tell courts (or anyone) that they wouldn't make future Bethesda titles exclusive.

Microsoft did tell the EU commission they had no incentive to make Zenimax games exclusive.
The EU did not make them "promise" or impose any kind of restrictions but it is indeed a thing Microsoft wrote in a document to them.

"We won't do x" and "We don't have a profit motive for x" are not the same statements.
"We won't do x" is not something Microsoft wrote in a document to anyone. Their lawyers aren't that stupid.

Not sure how so much stupidity got upvoted in this thread but im going to say astroturfing. Yes Microsoft did say they have no financial incentive to make Zenimax games exclusive and now are.

It's almost like those are two separate statements and not what the OP said.
The article I link literally quotes Microsoft's statement you are referencing. I didn't say otherwise.
WALKAW t1_jda9ux5 wrote
They say it here which is what people are referring to.
GreenAdvance t1_jdacj3h wrote
Yeah, and? Did you actually read any of that or the article I linked?
What it says and what OP said are not the same thing.

Dude, you gotta get info from multiple sources. Don't be one of those people that the media makes hating the victims while cheering for the victimizer.
