 So I kind of a weird schedule today, so we're just gonna get right into this Right, or I'm giving away a Nintendo Switch a PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X Description pinned comment to find out how to enter because hey, there's only there's still a couple days left All right, as you see here. We got a rumor about Microsoft making another Bethesda level acquisition this year or see they spent 7.5 billion on Bethesda and And there There's quite a bit to get into here So last year Microsoft acquired Bethesda one of the biggest video game bios ever the Xbox creator purchased Bethesda's parent company Zenimax for a total of seven point five billion dollars in doing so gunnered itself exclusive ownership over popular gaming franchises like Fallout and Skyrim I don't know why they call it Skyrim. It's the Elder Scrolls series Anyways, and whatever else Bethesda creates in the future. It was the kind of move many Xbox fans Hope Microsoft would make they technically about Zenimax Studios, so they actually own more than Bethesda But from the sounds of recent rumors Microsoft isn't satisfied with having just Bethesda Apparently the corporation is looking to add more big-name video game developers to its roster Exactly what companies Microsoft could be interested in remains a mystery And there's nothing in the recent grapevines Suggesting developers are looking to sell even if there was they would be like rumors and yeah That said the current rumor does have some credibility an industry insider Xbox Ragnar backed it Ragnar claimed Microsoft was about to purchase a very big gaming studio three weeks before Microsoft announced It's Bethesda acquisition deal with this new rumor surface from the gaming forum Xbox era Ragnar agreed with the individual sharing it He claims he doesn't know who the individual is But he's been hearing the same thing for months and thinks Microsoft will announce the purchase around the end of this year or sometime next year so Looking at this year. We'll load up the Twitter thing here. So we got here's here's what we got here We got so mega increases in Xbox revenue acquisitions amount I think you'll find out they come in months that a number of acts acquisitions are inbound heaven and works for a while On a scale of one to Bethesda what size are you hearing quote? All I know is that the same gaming media that likes to cry consolidation the industry will likely have some issues over the next year Going on it says according to insider Microsoft will be acquiring studios of the same sort of caliber of Bethesda this year. That's what it says there Let's let's back up a little here It's a little dicey Sorry one second So This guy says I don't know who this guy is but I've been hearing the same thing for months that Microsoft wants to acquire another publisher Negotiation with Bethesda lasted three years as I've been pointing out I believe the announcement will be at the end of 2021 or the beginning of 2022 also Brad Sam's a well-known Xbox insider Kind of gave like a winking Emoji sort of reply on Twitter to this as well kind of suggesting that he's heard the same thing He's not going into more detailed now, which is kind of surprising Brad Sam's usually likes to throw what he knows Oh there but maybe his sources on this aren't like a thousand percent concrete Then you might be wondering who could they like acquire? That's the level of of Bethesda. I mean seriously Who could they acquire? Well, there's a lot of news happening today And part of that news includes this bad boy right here Sega is splitting its amusement in video game divisions So yeah, Japanese game giant is making some pretty sweeping changes at the moment splitting its video game and amusement divisions Essentially taking their video games and Pachinko casino machines and separating them off into two separate businesses And that's effective on the first of April both of these new businesses will remain under the same ownership arm of Sega Sammy And the move is intended to accelerate Global business development by streamlining Sega Sammy structure and accelerated decision-making It is also noted that the split is intended to transform Sega's business structure to adapt to the external environment It's possible that as I said trigger speculation about Sega's bosses The purchase of the business again, there's been a rumor circulating around, you know Microsoft potentially buying Sega at least the video game arm for quite some time and the best way to do it is if it separates it Oh, because clearly Microsoft probably wasn't as interested in the Pachinko market They're interested in making Xbox game pass and other things much more viable And I don't know, you know would buying Sega be on the level of Bethesda I think Yeah, if you consider some of the IP Sega controls Sonic is still somehow relevant No offense Sonic just How they have like a Mario level mascot and now it's kind of like a footnote these days then again the Sonic movie was a thing So it's one of those things where I think Microsoft sees potential here and potentially buying of Sega Also, you talk about Bethesda level, you know Ubisoft is bigger than Bethesda EA is bigger than Bethesda So I'm not thinking they're gonna go after any either of those companies not those companies would you be for sale? But I think it's interesting to consider that Microsoft might be looking at Sega here as Potential potentially what they could purchase. So I don't know. This is just my I'm just throwing this news out here Kind of a quick video today. I might Might have a special video for you guys later tonight, and I'm talking like late tonight like 10 11 p.m It's again video game related. I told you guys to get back to video game videos today But I've just had such a busy schedule With college and everything, but hey, I'm here got it Feeling fit.
