I thought the UK’s reservations were more over the cloud streaming market than console exclusivity. It’s hard to make a stink about market share when this acquisition will only make them #3 in total size.
But the reason I ask why this is “news” is because this little fact has been known for quite a while now.
I’m also a bit fuzzy on whether I would categorize The Elder Scrolls as a “historically cross-platform franchise” when most of it’s numbered entries are not on anything other than PC or Xbox. Though to me these have always been PC games. Console versions of anything other than Skyrim felt like an afterthought.
