I still think Microsoft is being dumb. Sure fallout 5 in 8 years is fine but why not send the ip for spin-off to other studio? Same with world of warcraft, overwatch and so on.
Make a warcraf rpg tha look like the cinematic. Make an overwatch linear story game. Like about the omnic war and it feel like titanfall/halo.
Make a spin-off fallout game about somewhere else.
Microsoft might not be able to do that? I mean they own Bethesda but as part of their deals with them and Activision but still self-publish as opposed to being published under Microsoft Game Studios. So they also might still have say when it comes to their own IPs. Plus, even if they did not I can't imagine either would be thrilled if Microsoft went in and demanded that they outsource their IP to someone else against their will.

Seems insane that we're likely looking at 10+ years before Fallout 5, too
