The founder of Bethesda, Christopher Weaver, commented on the sale of his former company to Microsoft products, stating that users will be the real winners of the deal. In a long interview with Inverse, Weaver called the deal an extremely interesting acquisition for both groups, as Microsoft has acquired one of the most experienced companies in the entertainment industry and Bethesda will be able to leverage Microsoft's software.
Bethesda founder added:
There is a limited number of great AAA creators. What is from Microsoft, Sony cannot get it.
According to Weaver, the purchase of Bethesda is similar to that of Bungie, which helped the success of the first Xbox console: “The acquisition of Bungie acted as a major trigger for the success of the first Xbox. Depending on how soon Bethesda will be able to launch the Microsoft pipeline, I suspect Microsoft is looking at their playbook and trying to repeat one of its "best moves". If the strategy works, it will be a brilliant counter move for the console war on Sony. Users from all over the world will be the final beneficiaries of this agreement ».
