  @NebsGoodTakes It’s funny to me how Bethesda tried the live service thing with Elder Scrolls, it didn’t work, and they still thought it was a good idea to do with Fallout.

  @RedDeadDovah @TESOnline What's lost in this is their investment in Live Service games is not panning out, even with successful games like this one. Why should we continue to invest time and resources in these games if they will just get canceled eventually?

  I mean lets be real. Elder Scrolls 6 is gonna probably suck ***. Bathesda hasnt had a good track record for a while. Do we need another full price game that modders need to fix?

  @GrassTroll @xaviersonline_ Skyrim at least had a pretty decent world to help make up for its issues. Still far from the best elder scrolls game, but I do still prefer it more than fallout 4. Althouugh I will probably never play it again anyway. As after you've explored the world, the only reason the game became worth owning was for mods. But even that gets boring after a while.

  Sensible decisions to fix Phil Spencer’s mess. Maybe we’ll even see new Elder Scrolls and Fallout games a bit faster as well.

  “From hype to chaos 🎮🔥” @grok @TESOnline #ESO #ESO_JP #ESOFam “What’s happening with @TESOnline is a real shame, but it’s their own fault. I remember when I first started playing, I already had Morrowind, Summerset, Elsweyr, Greymoor, and Blackwood thanks to my father who bought them for me. Then came High Isle (2022) — I saved like crazy to get it. Necrom (2023) — I sold three Nintendo Switch games to afford it. And then my favorite arrived: Gold Road (2024), which I bought without any problems. I always looked forward with great joy to see what was coming each year. But then those damn developers changed everything: useless subclasses, they took away content, and once again kept patching to fix their own nonsense. In the end, it’s truly a pity.”

  @HazzadorGamin However in between Fallout 3 and Fallout 4, they also released Skyrim....uh the original Skyrim, not one of the many re-releases that is. Now they don't do that. So the problem isn't necessarily the dev time of Elder Scrolls 6 and how long it's taking it's they released that

  @JezCorden I really am. It does make me sad how hard you are on Xbox sometimes. I get some people don't like job cuts, but she's fixing a problem that she didn't create. They bought a million studios during covid to boost game pass and obviously it didn't work. They are draining 60 cents out of every 100 keeping dead studios alive. And like Asha said there are like 13 levels of management at times. I get that they also cut other people but some of those roles could have been redundancies that weren't necessary. Remember some of these games took 10 years to make a game that would barely make any money. Some of these studios are not doing the work they need to do. I don't like exclusives but it's definitely the way to get people to buy Xbox in the future. Getting all of their popular titles actually released. Personally I don't think they released elder scrolls 6 because they were trying to milk the MMO for as long as they can. So they didn't prioritize development. Phil Spencer let the studios do whatever they wanted and he was praised because people were worried that Microsoft would get too involved. But studios were allowed to do very little to nothing for 8 years and get away with it. All to release some indie game no one would buy even on PlayStation. People are making all these videos about Xbox dying and they have been for weeks but it's silly. It was dying. She saw the issues. She's addressing them. The toughest issue yet is the console pricing but everyone is dealing with that. She's not getting close to enough credit. People get in their feelings about Job losses and I can understand why but Sony ditched almost the same amount of employees too. They barely got any flack. I get Windows Central and other places should be neutral but we also need people to stand against all the PS5 fanboys who are just hating on Xbox to justify their purchases. We need people to bring balance. To say yes. Xbox was in a crap situation but IT IS better. We have game pass. We have a better subscription service than sony. We have Xbox play Anywhere which is massive for people with gaming handhelds or PCS. I saved so much money being able to play games on both handheld and console. And we have a bright future with great exclusive games and high-end titles that most of us want to play rather than boring titles none of us would buy. I think she's doing great. Even if it has been rough times

  @JuiceHead33 I think that it shouldn’t take a decade to get another elder scrolls game. We went from Morrowind to Oblivion in 3-4 years. Oblivion to Skyrim in 5. There is clearly issues at Bethesda if they can’t manage to get a single game out that they announced more than a decade ago.

  @SlasherOfGods @el_centroverita @stormfall33 Starfield's problem was that it felt empty & lacking history Elder Scrolls & Skyrim, there is tons of lore & background that many players know. In Elder Scrolls you find books about it Yeah, a Starfield 2 or 3 might capture that feeling TES/Fallout do, but Starfield 1 couldn't

  Obsidian was always openly progressive The problem with the Outer Worlds and Avowed is that everyone wanted them to be FO or Elder Scrolls style of open world RPG and they clearly were not.

  Gta 6 buyers really are smooth brained and dont realize they just let companies know they can do away with physical media. 100 dollars for a code? U do realize this creates a slippery slope right? Whats next? Fallout? Elder scrolls? Call of duty? 1 crash and its over

  @MAJ_Starman You dont think it was irresponsible to release a trailer for Elder Scrolls 6 in 2018 when the game wasn't even in development?? TES 6 didnt start production until late 2023, 5 years after the announcement. Fallout 5 couldve been given to Obsidian to make years ago. Bethesda prints money, my issue is with how they have managed the POTENTIAL of Elder Scrolls and Fallout given how MASSIVE those IP are.

  CIA (@cia_rumored) reported 37 minutes ago

  @MassiveCorgi @BecerratopsTV @pcgamer Bethesda collectively created its own problems. Nobody wanted Starfield; the game sucked, and it ******* most of their resources for years. The market told them "Elder Scrolls" and "Fallout 5," but they decided that they knew better. Bethesda employees are losing their jobs because of inside factors, not outside factors. And yeah, it sucks that probably some good developers got caught in that crossfire. But I'm just sick of these companies insulting the player base and then wanting sympathy when they reap what they sow.

  @ixsiel @Its_Jabo Both are true, mainly the Starfield and creation club content, but having a outlet for people to get their “elder scrolls fix” while not having a fire under their *** does give them an excuse to not saying they had manpower moved over specifically the “live service” mindset has.

  Giga Puddi (@AoiAmore) reported 40 minutes ago

  @AdYoration Yeah, that's how I feel. They've done jack **** with Elder Scrolls aside for live service slop like ESO or just lame mobile games. Now they're feeling the heat I guess. I'm not confident that TESVI will be any good if Shartfield is any indication of quality.

  @Recna8 @EndymionYT No it isnt. Hes talking about fallout and who they havent done **** with it. Fallout is a Bethesda title. Xbox is pissed off at Bethesda foe not making a new fallout game so the rumor is the told Bethesda to unfuck themselves and develop elder scrolls 6 which was announced 10 years ago and is supposed to be the next big thing adter starfield Xbox ripped this next fallout game to obsidian cause they own both. Todd Howard though likes his live service games like elder scrolls online and fallout 76.

  There's rumors going around that anyone NOT working on Fallout or Elder Scrolls could be facing layoffs (at Zenimax). This is a total reset as Sharma has said. All in on their big IP franchises and if you dont fit that vision, you are on the chopping block.

  maddy catgirlprostate (@catgirlprostate) reported 51 minutes ago

  The real issue isn't the 15 year wait between game releases, it's the fact that the elder scrolls 6 got announced 8 ******* years ago and is supposedly still 3+ years away Like they didn't have to show the damn PNG if they knew they weren't even gonna start for years

  Sweet Babes Incoming(SBI) (@HS07641012) reported 52 minutes ago

  @Pirat_Nation Elder scrolls is all about letting modders do all the work, MS can easily make loads from paid mods, BGS just have to make a big unified open world with some basic stuff in and a robust mod tool, the game can be released in alpha state and still make hundreds of millions over time. Not a lot of devs needed. Other than wokeness, biggest problem for fartfield is they fractured the open world with space stuff which lead to many hating that game.

  @Pirat_Nation So live service was not the play after all Who would have guessed Didn't they announce Elder scrolls 6 years ago? Where is it? Oh here... - The Elder Scrolls 6 was officially announced by Bethesda on June 10, 2018, during their E3 showcase.

  Heady (@Headyish) reported 54 minutes ago

  @AnimateZed Nobody cares about ESO man just like nobody cares about Fallout 76. Live service slop and it’s a main reason neither elder scrolls or fallout has gotten a main line game in what over a decade. Todd told Microsoft 2 generations ago when they bought out Bethesda NEW ELDER SCROLLS

  @MMORPGcom @TESOnline Content wise its pretty good. The problem was always the boring combat. I got 2000 hours into it. Open world siege PvP was amazing.
