MODERATORS
Bethesda has chosen to make their shit exclusive to a console that is outsold by its completion 2:1.
They’re not exactly the bastions of good ideas.
Microsoft owns Bethesda, so they probably didn't have a choice
They knew beforehand- and did it anyway:

The article clearly states Microsoft chose to keep it off Playstation, not Bethesda.
And it’s well know that Microsoft knew they were going to do that before Bethesda sold off to Microsoft. So again, they’re not making good decisions.
If you're getting a big heap of money from Microsoft, who cares what decisions you make? (Playing devil's advocate)
What do you mean by this? I've played starfield on pc, is it exclusive to pc?
Can you play it on a PS5? The console that I mentioned that is outselling the Xbox 2 to 1? And both FO and Elder Scrolls will be exclusive. Again, they’re not making good decisions over there.
I didn’t mention PC. What I’m talking about isn’t about PC. It’s about consoles and their decision to side with Microsoft and lose money.
Well, it's not siding with Microsoft, it is Microsoft. This is a Microsoft game.
Was it a hostile takeover?
No, Microsoft simply bought them.
So like I said… they knew what was going to happen. And allowed it. So… big brain ideas happening over there.
