Bethesda France was made up of roughly 15 people... they couldn't of being doing much

Bethesda France mainly did publishing and marketing within the region

Bethesda France focused on publishing and marketing in the region. And 15 people lost their jobs as part of the closure.

Possibly guven all the leaks we know the Xbox brand is really struggling in the region.

Tbh Microsoft I think Bethesda being 3rd party same with Activision would probably more competitive than thus scenario imo

Profchaos4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

I think it would have been better for all parties really especially gamers

The recently purchased Activision French offices might take over all the licensing and marketing for Microsoft in France from now on.
