  You wouldn’t just have that now. You would also have Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Minecraft, Halo, Gears, Forza, etc. You need games that sell a service and get people to buy into it, eventually growing into big IPs. A lot of people on this very app felt Ninja Theory was going to be that studio that took the next step. They surely could, but a lot of people felt Hellblade 2 was a lateral move and not a step up. The point I made was that so many people think innovation means stagnation at the same time, when it should be both. The truth is you can make a fun little game and just hope it sells 500k–1M copies.

  @Jetifyed2077 The problem is modern gaming development time being like 7+ years in some cases, and instead of literally just making a different studio, Bethesda would rather take 14+ years to create a new IP + a new Elder Scrolls game before doing the next Fallout. Skyrim was in 2011 lol

  4. EXCLUSIVITY TALK (PART 1): Xbox-Original single-player franchises (Halo, Forza, Gears, Fable) stay exclusive while Xbox-acquired franchises and multiplayer games (Elder Scrolls, COD, Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, Crash) remain multi-platform. Don't care. Talk to the wall. (4/?)

  @stormfall33 The problem with releasing Elder Scrolls 6 is that it has to compete with your 12th release of Elder Scrolls 5

  @TESOnline Y'all gonna fix Tales while you're at it? The game is toxic...and trying to enjoy a casual NPC match is insanely hard to do when they cheat. The players have PROVEN the NPCs cheat...Fix this. It doesn't add "difficulty", it's just patently unfair.

  I don't want to make a full blown video on what #Xbox chooses to close but I do have some thoughts. We already know when Xbox got a new head that there will be major changes to the brand for the better. ✅ New UI ✅ New feedback website ✅ Exclusive games ✅ Gamepass decrease in price ✅ Other minor things ( can't remember ) Even after all these years Microsoft knows Xbox isn't profitable. So I ask a question. How do you make the brand profitable while? You know hard decisions have to be made. Are you trying to be people's friends or do what's best for the business because it was going under one way or another. Xbox finally has the games in development for the past while which is what matters. Xbox finally got some exclusives back. Some of the OG games that made the brand what it is. So is it enough to have those exclusives back to make profit? With all the ballooning costs and bloat of the brand closing studios and people being overpaid it seems like that's the direction that they are going. For the record I'm a fan of games as a consumer. I have had an Xbox since the OG and up. ( I have the other consoles as well. ). What Xbox should do is this in my opinion ✅ Close studios - Smaller studios reworked into bigger studios. We gotta be honest Xbox is starting to have games but we don't need all these freaking studios working on Call Of Duty. That's the dumbest idea they came up with Cod games should be 2-3 years away anyway. Have 2 main studios rotate. Close the support studios down. ✅ Actually hire so outside talent and lock there games to be exclusive games. - Again let's be honest for years people didn't like how Xbox games are compared to PlayStation and Nintendo. That comes down to quality and talent and what I.P would sell. We already have news that Xbox is going to focus on main titles to come out faster with quality ( I'm looking at you Elder Scrolls VI you are my favorite game studio even I have some criticisms. I still believe Bethesda games have their place in history which shouldn't change. ) Quality matters 1st and foremost If you have quality with a game people will come. ✅ Fix your overall image - You know what I mean even on this app you have lots of people just constantly grilling you for decisions made etc. So for once have a final push to silence that. So far Halo " without the super fans " is gonna do fine. Gears and Fable are shaping up great as well keep at it. The constant bashing of the brand " although funny at times which is warranted " gets tiring people online are making more money off your downfall then you are making profit. " Make that money creators it's hard out here ". At the end of this long and pointless post make the hard decisions make good games fix the brand. If you gotta step on some toes to do it go for it. We know the competion is letting up so do what you gotta do. Now to get this backlog down. P.S No I'm not making any kind of stand or rightous grandstanding. I'm just making a observation I don't like hypocrisy.

  @Genie_93 @BBCNews If Elden Ring’s servers turn off, it’s playable. ARC Raiders is useless if the server turns off. The monsters are designed to be beaten by teams unless you want to grind for some reason. There’s also special events. Most live service is the second bucket. How many people actually play the same game for years if it’s not a social game with a community? ie world of Warcraft vs elder scrolls.

  @GameReaper187 The last Doom tanked. Diablo, Elder Scrolls and Fallout are classic PC franchises. This is the problem they have better PC IP than console IP. And people have PCs so that’s where they play them.

  @K__Med Elder Scrolls 6 will be on PS5/6. Why? Paid mods from the creator club thing. Heavy micro transactions of any kind are Service games...I suspect.

  @PaulTassi Isn’t Halo now considered a live service franchise? Elder Scrolls 6 could be exclusive when it releases in 10 years though.

  @DarkIxion Everyone came out swinging meanwhile Bethesda was like here’s trailers for our two live service games. No Fallout 3 remake no Elder Scrolls 6. They were the one let down for me.

  @EPG_Gaming_247 @MarathonDevTeam Yes, because it's not like we don't have live service games such as World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy Online, Guild Wars 2, and Elder Scrolls Online. There's still a lot more going on, and you want to tell me 10 Years is too long?

  @stormfall33 Well, the logical thing would have been for Bethesda to continue the development of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, but Starfield made everything move, so perhaps the problem was that third game.

  @DrFuryWolf @CultureCrave @theinformation I’m hoping it means they use one there 20+ studios to make games for each others ip’s. Why not have obsidian make a fallout, or inexile make an elder scrolls. Would be sick to see a doom from the coalition or even a halo, or ID making a cod, double fine a crash game, etc.

  @K__Med Here's my expert analysis. Smaller studios were purchased to pad content prior to Zennimax and ABK. Phil gave those studios a lot of rope, because they needed content. The problem is, they were given too much autonomy, probably because of the praise Xbox for the handling of Mojang. Covid delays aside, when all you had to launch from first party in 2022 was Pentiment, it kind of shows how desperate they were. Now that they have AAA output and top tier IP, the overhead from these smaller studios is sucking resources with little to no ROI. I loved South of Midnight, but running that studio for 7 years of development is a drain. To be fair, it probably was a hindrance for the studios as well, because it allowed them to take their time and slow down production, since their budgets weren't a issue with MS backing. When you have big system seller IP like Fallout and Elder Scrolls, you don't need to worry about smaller projects unfortunately. That's why ABK used Raven and Toys for Bob as COD support. I think Asha is seeing that they can get great GamePass content from small 3rd party studios, and not take on the liability of running them. Expedition 33 and Palworld exceeded anything they could do in house, and when something like Flinklock fails, it can easily be overlooked. They are running into an issue where they have too much content, and these smaller titles would not move the needle for console sales or subscriptions. It's sad, but I understand the business side of it. I kind of wish that Xbox just spun off the little guys as their own "indie" style division to work on smaller quirky titles with smaller budgets and quicker turnaround, but something like that would take time, that I'm not sure they have.

  @G27Status @BethesdaStudios @bethesda now look at this and do something with Oblivion Remastered while we wait for Elder Scrolls 6. An expansion that takes us to a part of where elder scrolls 6 takes place would be sick. And for the love of god, please fix the memory leak issue.

  @XboxTimdog @HazzadorGamin i’m concerned about xbox because they literally have a single digit , lower than 5% margin. And they own my favorite ips through acquisitions! so yes i’m concerned that spyro, COD, elder scrolls, doom, crash, fallout, dishonored, warcraft, starcraft are gonna end up as trashware

  @asha_shar Now fix Bethesda Game Studios please. Pathetic to not get another Fallout game is 11 years. Insanity to still be using Creation Engine. Elder Scrolls game still not arrived. Starfield was just a bad game. Focus on that studio and fix it please. Make it good again please
