Hope Fallout doesn't become exclusive.

Of course, it will be completely exclusive to the Xbox and Windows 10.

Why else would MS spend close to $8B just so it can go to other platforms?

Sony, Linux, Mac computers, Nintendo and Stadia are shaking and it's not even winter yet.

MS refused to lose to Sony this generation.

I wonder, now after MS has purchased Zenimax, will that Warner IO sell-off service back up?

Any takers? Google, Apple, Sony???

Oh, as long as there's Windows. Some titles are Xbox exclusive, those are a real pain...
