yesterday i would have said i can't see ms getting to the ~100,000 subscribers needed to get to a profitable subscription service. this acquisition, however, changes things a lot. i still wouldn't subscribe to the service yet because Bethesda isn't exactly a studio i love. but i know a lot of people love their works so i could see big growth in subscriptions following this acquisition.
