It's still not an existing IP. Sony fans have not been deprived of any titles they've been able to play for years. Outside of Bethesda, Microsoft also owns Mojang and Minecraft. That a hugely successful title that is still available on multiple platforms. Microsoft could have taken that away. They could have taken Fallout, Skyrim etc away but they haven't.

If Sony had the money to do the same thing Microsoft is doing, would they do things any different than Microsoft? Sony's exclusive developers/games remain exclusive to their consoles. The outrage seems to be that you and everyone else hates that Microsoft has more money. But unless they take all these pre-existing titles away, what is there to really complain about?

But it's not just going to Microsoft, Playstation still gets the games as well. Obviously now Microsoft benefits from those sales too, but it's not a total loss for Sony. Microsoft aren't stupid enough to take away the revenue they would recieve from keeping the franchise on Sony consoles too.

All they said regarding the aquisition of Bethesda was that they wouldn't make all their games exclusive. You're a fool if you thought Starfield wouldn't be exclusive. But unless Fallout and Elder Scrolls become Microsoft exclusive (Doom and Wolfenstein as well), you really have no argument here.
