They're not investing in Games. . .

They're investing in the fact that one day, we'll be able to walk in to the Holodeck by plugging the lead into an interface just down and left of our jugular.

And I'm cool with that. The future's bright, the future's odd.

Why would they? I trust the new MS to do the right thing, and I say this being a huge fan of the series since the first installment (ARENA).

To spend a boatload of money acquiring Bethesda and then killing off the Elder Scrolls series would make less than zero sense.

When we remember Fallout76 launch and watch the way Phil Spencer botches the MSF project we definitely see kindred spirits at work here.

I fear the worst for The Elder Scrolls. Never two without three.😏
