Except they never did that. What Microsoft said is that they would keep existing games supported on whatever platform they are on and honour any existing contract. They have done both.
- agloe_dreams 4y agoThe article above clearly quoted MS stating that it would be absurd to only release Starfield as an exclusive...and then they did. That is exactly what I said.
- doikor 4y agoThat was Todd Howard before the merger went through. So at the time he did not work at Microsoft. Also the paragraph after the being quoted goes. > Elsewhere in the interview, Howard admits that the parties haven't fully discussed the details of multiplatform publishing as part of the purchase deal. Also the quote was about the next elder scrolls but starfield.
