Microsoft's acquisition of Bethesda smashed through games industry news last week, leaving everyone stunned at the massive deal (priced at $7.5 billion in cash).
Bethesda founder Christopher Weaver, who left the company back in 2002, was interviewed by Inverse following the news and shared an interesting angle. According to Weaver, Microsoft might be looking to repeat the success they've had with the acquisition of Bungie in 2000, prior to the launch of the original Xbox; Bungie would go on to create one of the biggest franchises in gaming with Halo, though they eventually split with Microsoft in 2007.
