  @stormfall33 PlayStation’s issues seem easy to point out. For Xbox, though, it feels like it needed tough leadership that mandated specific titles. The idea of buying the Elder Scrolls and Fallout IP and over the course of 5 years doing nothing with it is insane.

  @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.

  @Colteastwood The only winning move by Xbox is going back to full exclusivity except for live service games and Call of Duty and Minecraft Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Doom, Diablo, Crackdown, Dishonored, Starfield, etc all exclusive would sell boxes. PC a year delayed

  @TESOnline The new furnishing drop rate is abysmal. Please return the dueling mat to what it was before you “fixed” it. It’s been over a year. The invisible bottom became a feature and people bought a LOT of them for that reason. You really let down the housing community with that “fix”.

  @GameOverThirty @HoegLaw Case in point: Elder Scrolls VI Most people are already jumping on the idea it’d fall under the “single player, therefore exclusive” idea, but Bethesda games are really more broad platforms themselves with mods and such like a “live service” would be

  @nuhre_ There are a lot of veteran game devs who demand high salaries and many AAA studios are built in expensive cities to attract talent, requiring higher salaries all around. All of this is multiplied by games taking 7 years now instead of 18 months (the real problem right now). I get wanting to avoid insane Halo 2 levels of crunch, but there has to be a middle ground. KOTOR 2 was made in 14 months. Double that to give more breathing room and you still have a high quality game in less than 3 years. I mean seriously, Elder Scrolls 6 could have been Skyrim with slightly better graphics and a new setting. We should be waiting for ES9 right now. Instead it’s been 15 years…. TLDR: AAA game dev is collapsing because of ridiculous dev times that cause salaries per game to become completely unsustainable.

  @BROOKSWOODWORKS I'm glad they're doing something because their game pass direction was not working I think they have to reset and focus on exclusives. Fable, Halo, Bethesda's next Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. These are heavy hitter franchises that can revive the brand IF they are exclusive

  RJ Kelly (@rjkelly13) reported 14 minutes ago

  I was thinking about this earlier. Bethesda was so enormous that they had their own stage show dropping games left and right. Now it's just live service Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online and Doom stuff. What a dropoff.

  It has nothing to do with the fact theres a female lead. You don't see Tomb Raider getting hated on. It's the fact studios that take 4-6 years to make games spent time making a game that isn't starring the beloved main character Kratos. Hell people are pissed at Bethesda for making Starfield because it wasted 6-8 years instead of making the next Elder Scrolls. Time is finite for these developers, wasting time on stories no one cares about is the issue.

  @TESOnline My guild and I think you need to fix the glitches that you have in the game already instead of adding more game. Maybe its time to clean things up plz??

  @BerdlyGuy @fambramb Uhm? what? Sweet rolls are kind of an iconic food in elder scrolls even then I barely hear them still, NOW DELTARUNE can't stop making ******* spamton jokes thats the big issue here

  @TESOnline You need to address the problem that caused the game to no longer work before Sept 1. It didn't happen to me, but two of my friends can't play. Just remember it effects the gaming of more than just the people who can't play.

  @Ak11810723K I think TES VI probably won’t have the same loading screen issues as Starfield. The problem with Starfield wasn’t just the engine. It was the game’s structure. Traveling frequently involved moving between separate spaces such as your ship, space, and planetary locations, often with loading screens in between. If TES VI is a more traditional Elder Scrolls game with one large world, loading screens may feel much less intrusive, even if caves and interiors still have them. That said, I hope there are fewer loading screens than in Skyrim. By today’s standards, having a loading screen every time you enter a cave, dungeon, city, or building would still feel like a lot…

  @YC_0015 It was the equivelant of Bethesda and Todd Howard announcing Elder Scrolls 6 despite not wanting to for the good PR it would create / save face from their live service (for them Fallout 76)

  @HazzadorGamin I saw a post from George Broussard from 3D Realms/Apogee that layoffs at Zenimax have already started and that any studio not working on Elder Scrolls or Fallout are out. God I hope that's NOT true!!!

  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.

  @_Deez_Games I hate that my gut instinct is right every time there's a Bethesda announcement. Me: Sees Fallout standby screen. My gut: Hold on bro, it's just an F76 ad. Me: Sees something Elder Scrolls My gut: Hold on bro, it's just TES online. I'm so sick of games as a service. 🤬

  @katanaollie @Wario64 They do third party deals - the issue Xbox faces is that they have to pay more because they have less market share to make up for the sales difference. The only way to gain attention is either overpay (they have every year) or earn attention through creations. Why would you want Elder Scrolls and Fallout exclusive? What does this bring to an Xbox user? These entities are multiplatform and using your wealth to control the market entity and rug pull is dangerous.

  @JezCorden @JuiceHead33 Other platforms didn't buy the bulk of mid to top tier studies in less than 3 years. Exclusives are fine but when a mega corp buys 100 billion worth of studios it kinda creates an issue. If they keep the 4 tent pole, cool. They move Elder Scrolls...thats the ******* problem.

  @TESOnline Nothing to really dislike, but nothing to get overly animated about. Nice changes at the edges when there are critical core problems that bafflingly continue to not be addressed.

  Shadowe (@ShadoweLily) reported 47 minutes ago

  @stormfall33 Elder scrolls 6 is likely in development hell to some extent. There have been rumours of serious issues with development and I believe that. Skyrim was 2011, GTA V was 2012 and we are still getting GTA 6 first despite the money they make on GTA online.

  Ash (@Ashleyscowcroft) reported 50 minutes ago

  @UnkWerks @RinoTheBouncer Except it's not. It's a single player game that happens to include a multiplayer mode. A live service game is something like Destiny, The Elder Scrolls Online or Fallout 76. They tried to make Halo CE exclusive but couldn't because of various contracts already in place.

  @LouisV1099 @PostUp_SOG It can work if they make Helix cheap. And make Elder scrolls, Halo, Gears, Forza, crash bandicoot, Spyro, Overwatch single player game at a consistent pace. Sony can’t match that volume.
