#Microsoft Has Acquired ZeniMax Media, The parent Company of Bethesda Softworks. » OmniGeekEmpire

Now that is what I call a power move by Microsoft! They’re really showing that they’re serious about competing in the next generation. Microsoft has entered into an agreement to acquire ZeniMax Media, parent company of Bethesda Softworks.

This is unreal, maybe this may have been specualted in thre past but I had no idea that Microsoft was making such powerful moves behind the cuirtains like that!

According to the press release:

And, we have a long history of working with Microsoft. Our companies share many of the same basic principles. We believe in a culture that values passion, quality, collaboration, and innovation. When I think back to the first time we decided to shift from being a PC-only developer and make Morrowind for the original Xbox, it was a move that countless people said would never work…nobody on consoles wanted a game that big and complex. But Microsoft believed in us and so did you. And now RPGs of all shapes and sizes are hugely successful on consoles.

Yes, it’s a big change for us, but after taking a minute to absorb the magnitude of this acquisition, we’re going to continue doing what we know and love: making great games. We’re going to keep trying new things. We’re going to take the same passion we’ve poured into what we do, and the passion that our community brings to the things we make, and do even better.

This is what I wanted to see, a reason to want to buy an Xbox! Let me know how you feel about this acquisition!
