Episode description
Oh noes! Microsoft bought Bethesda (or, more accurately, ZeniMax Studios) and now all of their IPs (Doom, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc.) are going to be exclusive to the Xbox! But... will they, though? Microsoft's said "nuh-uh, not even!", but will their actions match that eloquent statement?
Also, who exactly benefits from the existence of exclusives? And why do these game studios get bought and sold in the first place? Come listen to Luciano and Matt's discussion on the subject to find out the answers... as well as just how wrong you are about all of it.
