Pretty much all of my games are local license though.
There would be some odd digital games and DLC that are digital license, but via code not through store purchase.

Spoiler warning:
I'm sorry to hear about your grandpa,Ace. It's difficult losing a grandparent. (hug)
Appreciate it...There's a rumor going around my family right now that my wife and I will be renting their old house...Since there's talks of sending Grandma to a Nursing Home since she can't do things by herself. I'd be super happy and humbled to live in the house I spent so much time in. Sigh. Just hurts a lot...
Microsoft is buying ZeniMax Media.
Spoiler warning:
So they'll own Doom, Elder Scrolls and Fallout franchises.
Spoiler warning:
Hmm, didn't realise they already owned Obsidian.

Hopefully this results in some exclusives. Last gen was 100% a failure in that regard. No exclusives meant I never bought their console, and the Xbox One is the first major console I've ever skipped
*PSA* Wii Redump collector's can now unscrub ISO files. So scrubbed games can now be verified. You can find the program to do this here
I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't any true exclusives.
Xbox One pretty much targetted people that couldn't be bothered with PC gaming, in that respect it does rather well.
The bonuses are a 4k drive for playing UHD BD (well, except the launch and S digital models) and also physical BC (so you don't have to purchase digital BC games).
Upscaling original Xbox games beyond 1080p is a fairly impressive feat.
What will be interesting to see is if Beth etc games become timed console exclusives, or if some games end up console exclusive. A valid reason would be the time and effort building games for rival platforms.
Actual exclusive games like Ninty and Sony? Unlikely, there's more money making games for both Xbox and PC platforms.
Spoiler warning:
Good for them. They should go after Square/Enix next lol.
I assume they probably won't add the games until November along with the EA thingum though. Be nice to try out the latest Doom on gamepass.
As for exclusives they have Forza Horizon 4 which is just a stellar driving game imo. I'm not big on Halo and that's probably the only other big thing they have this gen.
I don't have a problem with MS buying ZeniMax. I might even get a Xbox Series X before a PS5, since the Xbox ix doing better with backwards compatbility. However I probably won't buy a new game system anytime soon.
