  @blacklodgegames @silderfoe Bethesda did that made a boat load of Elder Scrolls and Fallout games, took that money and made a new IP in Starfield, granted it wasn't necessarily a new success but they did it. The problem they have now is not just cost of the games but more importantly the time it takes them

  @SuperP1ayerX @GHBSmith The issue is that I care about Elder Scrolls, not the other games. There's still not enough value for me to buy a console, even if all the other games were also exclusive.

  @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

  Layoff's are never good, but I need people to see the larger picture. I'm no corpo's friend but overall most of this is good news. Hear me out... This needed to happen. Asha came in here with a JOB to do, this wasn't going to be easy. She is on the warpath and making the most brutal decisions that are absolutely needed. XBOX has NEVER been this transparent before. Almost every decision made in this post, I actually agree with, as harsh as that sounds. -Every company that starts becoming successful, always ends up stacked top heavy with too many execs. They get paid stupid amounts of money and slow down all the decision making processes. -Acquiring studios hasn't worked. Compulsion Games actually made an award winning and incredible game with South of Midnight, but people just weren't going to ever let that game have a chance. It might have been better off as an indie studio. Not with the XBOX pedigree (not with SBInc attached) -The last Senua game, was bad, real bad. It was really short, didn't have the same level of exploration as the last game and left me feeling jaded with the series being able to do well going forward. -Double Fine makes some amazing games but the last game they made, Keeper, I bet nobody even knew it was out or mainstream wasn't interested in playing a game about a sentient Lighthouse. Indie is best for them, plus they were given grant after grant and even had to kickstarter Pschyonauts 2, they were hemorrhaging XBOX money. -State of Decay, in my option, looks like a mobile game and is best not under XBOX, they don't make the games needed right now. -All the Live service Elder Scrolls Online/Fallout 76 games I will be ******* honest here, are awful, we don't need any more of these games. The reactions every year to seeing the Bethesda logo in game showcases, to be met with yet another update to these live services...and not ES6 or a new Fallout...says everything The fact the layoff are phasing over FY2027, that the studios were not shut down, that they are trying to transition them out to keep them alive, while still keeping their Titles releasing...is actually astonishing. This is actually best case scenario when they could have just scrapped everything and left the studios to close. Releasing the sales figures, releasing the failure of projects, its transparency that we wouldn't get from Sony. They are silent on everything they plan moving forward. Acknowledging consumers not being able to afford games , increased hardware cost, the transparency on operating at a loss. We hardly ever see this talked about. -One of my biggest gripes with XBOX is they don't know how to market Game Pass properly. They did bet on Game Pass being more successful but they don't push it as the main selling point. Hardly any normie knows that Game Pass IS ON PC, YOU DON'T NEED A CONSOLE. Almost every AAA release is on there day one, I don't pay for most games anymore. - The upcoming Beast of Reincarnation is on Game Pass, as a streamer, this has been a lifesaver for me. Games I can't afford, I can play. Games I don't want to play more than once or to own, I get through Game Pass. I've slimmed down to only the PC Game Pass subscription and saved so much money. -XBOX needs to market GAME PASS as the cheaper option and way to play, vs players not being able to buy more than 2 AAA games a month on average. This all needed to happen. The reset of XBOX needed to happen. I've been shocked at how little games they released last year or even this year. They are not going to survive operating the way they did. I can't believe I would have high praise for a CEO but Asha is absolutely the person they needed. She is ruthless while trying to strip away hiding the state the company is in. She wants to connect the community again. Its going to get bloody and a hard hill to climb but we could have seen XBOX on the verge of going under, if they didn't reset like this. I will wait and see. I hope we don't see a push into AI or the same shady practices Sony are doing. -None of these companies I have any allegiance to. XBOX needs to prove the reset is warranted and time will tell if they can take advantage of giving the players better options in a gaming climate where our ownership is being taken away and gaming is fast becoming a hobby the average income consumer is being priced out of. Anyway, Get they *** Asha, absolute BEAST of a CEO. Take command, take those heads, keep us informed and don't let them stop you from flipping this entire corpo structure on its head. Don't let us down. I wait to see what changes can happen to save this entire industry, not just XBOX. (also Asha, you can make the most baller move ever, buy Bungie back off Sony and make Destiny 3)

  Let’s pretend that 15 year gaps between a series is okay. Let’s just pretend that’s fine. Let’s pretend that you really need all this extra time to make it just right, even though Skyrim took only 7 years and they also released fallout 3 in between. Let’s pretend that Bethesda is pushing out rockstar level of quality games. Let’s pretend that you can actually justify the timetables with the level of polish. Let’s pretend every Bethesda game has been bug free and never had any technical issues at launch. And Let’s also pretend that if they did, they were swiftly patched and fixed and wouldn’t still be suffering on a particular Japanese console years after release. Let’s pretend that it’s critical for Todd Howard to touch every aspect of the game. Let’s pretend he is the only key to success. Why in Oblivion would you NOT allow other companies to run spin offs of the IP. Why WOULDN’T you push for a New Vegas 2? From purely a business decision how does it not make sense to have Elder scrolls spin offs? Not even a small RTS game? Really? Can ANYONE actually explain how this makes a lick of sense when New Vegas has become the cult classic? Any excuse beyond pettiness? Beyond selfishness?

  While I'm very happy that Xbox plans on investing more in The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, my one concern is that I don't want them to turn The Elder Scrolls into a vending machine of spin offs. 15 years is way too long between games, but we don't want the opposite issue where there's too much of it. What I think @Xbox should do is make The Elder Scrolls have a bigger impact when it comes to media. I see so much Fallout merch, and even annual gatherings, it would be nice to see The Elder Scrolls get that same treatment, especially with Elder Scrolls being my favorite game franchise. I also think that we are due for a new trailer for TES VI. I definitely love Bethesdas short reveal to release window, but I think pulling back the curtain ever so slightly on TES VI would be a good thing. They can still save a full reveal for a later date. This year marks 15 years since Skyrim, so I can't think of a better time. It's been so long between entries, I really think a new reveal is in order with a title reveal. Even an in engine short teaser would do wonders for us Elder Scrolls fans. on the topic of Fallout, I don't mind if other studios get to do a spin off. It happened with New Vegas while BGS was busy with Skyrim, so I don't see a reason why it shouldn't happen again. Or a remaster of Fallout 3 even, which is apparently coming. More remasters would do wonders. #Elderscrolls #Fallout

  @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

  @kiwitalkz "At this point, Elder Scrolls 6 might as well be the next Half-Life 3, a myth." It already was... that's part of the problem. 15 years since the last mainline Elder Scrolls game release, 8 years since the announcement teaser... So many rereleases of the same games...

  @JuiceHead33 With elder Scrolls being my favorite game franchise, the wait has been excruciatingly long for TES VI, especially with the lack of new info on it. On the other hand, I very much enjoyed my 500 hours in Starfield and while I acknowledge it's issues, I can't help but feel bad for it in a way. Can't help but to feel like it was dragged through the mud for profit by grifters. Going forward, I think BGS should focus on TES VI and making it as good as they can, but I also think they really need to show some form of new trailer sooner rather than later. Same for the Fallout remasters.

  @a_space_alien @JuiceHead33 Yes the long term employees can help develop new talent, but they're also the least likely to want to try something new the "We've always done it this way" mind set is powerful in long time workers "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" you might say, but 15 years and counting for a new Elder Scrolls game shows that something at Bethesda is broken and needs to be fixed.

  @Its_Jabo The only people that play this game are women with no interest in the elder scrolls. This game has directly cost manpower needed working towards elder scrolls 6. More than that, though, companies will let a live service game run its course before they spend money on smth new

  SteelWicker (@SteelWicker) reported 18 minutes ago

  @BTV_Cast @SulyceGaming Xbox lost of sight if the customer a long time ago, tried to fight its way back when the customer moved on, bought up too many studios to bolster Gamepass, and are now floundering as a result while also under a corporation that has shifted into AI and is beginning to hold the brand to standards they are unable to achieve. I don’t blame the current head of Xbox, she was given this mess just a few months ago and now has to right the ship in what I’m sure feels like a very narrow window of time as compared to the amount of leniency Phil Spencer was given. The industry as a whole is sharing some of the problems Xbox has, but I think Xbox remains a wholly unique situation because they are a platform holder and own some of the largest IP in gaming with Minecraft, COD, Halo, WoW, Overwatch, Forza, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Doom, among others. Many if their issues are self inflicted, but if Xbox goes down, a significant portion of the industry goes down with it.

  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?

  Brook (@huttese_bebop) reported 21 minutes ago

  @GenePark probably not. I've been playing Elder Scrolls on PC since childhood, I resent Microsoft for buying up every loose studio they could to feed game pass thinking they had the next infinite money glitch in gaming, only to shutter these studios and lay off generational talent.

  Robert Gough (@SilentWraith87) reported 21 minutes ago

  @TongueToad @TKsMantis If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I think for games like RDR and GTA it's fine. Bethesda however I would say it's worse there because let's be honest Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Starfield, they all look, feel and play exactly the same, down to the UI and while on the one hand

  @TKsMantis Issue is, at this point I dont even think a fallout, wolfenstein, doom or even quake will save them. Elder scrolls will most likely just delay their doom. The company has lost the talent.

  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

  CIA (@cia_rumored) reported 55 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.

  @nuhre_ I REALY want an Elder Scrolls 6. But from Bethesda as it was 10+ years ago, not Bethesda of today. I honestly want them to crash and burn before they make a 6th and ruin it like I know they will. They were my favorite, and they have lost favor.
