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)
