  @DAKKADAKKA1 Not even modders are going to be able to fix the next Elder Scrolls, they'll be lucky if it even boots up 💀

  @UnderhiveScum @TESOnline You hope someone lost there job. Because there’s a glitch on a new update or something is inconvenient. 🙄 🙄🙄🙄

  @PixelRumors @nyc_prophet Soo Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Crash Bandicoot, what else am I missing ??

  @sc0nesandc0ffee @extremedogeball What's unkind is Bethesda substituting live-service slop for the single player Fallout and Elder Scrolls games that the fans actually want. If I had a magic wand to fire every one of them in order to get the game that I want then I would.

  @woggerman1974 They can't do both because the problem being solved is how to get more Fallout and Elder Scrolls games out faster. There is no problem of getting more Avowed out, because there's no demand. Avowed flopped just like Pillars of Eternity.

  @SynthPotato I don’t think it’s such a big deal. It was very obvious in Starfield because the player is constantly fast traveling. This should not be an issue in Elder Scrolls and Fallout where the game takes place in mostly one exterior map.

  @GamingSinceNES Two potential looming issues: 1). An entire generation has grown up without a mainline Elder Scrolls game. Will they care enough to have FOMO for something that they have gone years without. 2). Do people think BGS is still BGS after Starfield?

  @TESOnline @BethesdaStudios I've been an ESO customer for nearly a decade. The recent gameplay and communication improvements convinced me the game had a bright future, and I saw former players returning because of those changes. As a loyal customer, I'm concerned that reducing the development team now risks undoing that progress. ESO has earned a dedicated community over more than ten years. I hope Microsoft continues investing in one of its most successful live-service games rather than allowing that momentum to fade.

  @Swurv__ Even if it was undeserved (it was) the problem was they weren't making a real elder scrolls/fallout. No one asked for thst shi

  @DMC_Ryan Asha had the ***** to do what the world wanted She also has the ***** to make elder scrolls, fallout, doom, wolfenstein, starcraft, 1st/3rd person warcraft game, crash bandicoot, spyro etc all the new permanently exclusive Flagship franchises of XBOX after seeing the world beg for exclusives. She saw that gears, forza halo never worked they were can't Carry a brand in this age. A DECADE THE WORLD BEGGED FOR EXCLUSIVES AND THEN PHIL AND SARAH PUT EVERYTHING ON PLAYSTATION when Playstation had NOTHING TO COMPETE. F'ing morons Phil and Sarah are an embarrassment

  KingFanMan Bethesda (@KingFanMan) reported 24 minutes ago

  @TKsMantis The is no doubt been complete mismanagement of their two biggest games. How do you go over 10 years without even working on a single player Fallout or Elder Scrolls? Only problem, the ones who made that decision are still there.

  Hyperboy (@Hyperboy0011) reported 24 minutes ago

  @charlieINTEL This means they're trying to fix the usual gap between games. We might see a elder scrolls made by someone other than bethesda after ES6.

  Harrison (@Harriso84651147) reported 24 minutes ago

  @werty2346 @vicious696 They spent a good couple years making starfield, upgrading the engine, then once that finished went onto elder scrolls while still making starfield DLC and content updates. Doing all this while maintaining a multiplayer live service, developing a newer version of their engine

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline so my game finished reinstalling like 30 minutes ago and its still broken.

  @KhangiOST @Der_Kernel_ ...theres nothing to buy We asked for new elder scrolls and new Fallout and got MMO live-service games. I have no idea why bethesda hasn't been purged yet

  monke (@air_bagged) reported 32 minutes ago

  @GenePark The thing with exclusives is that I have a 300 games backlog on PC and I can live without Elder Scrolls or God Of War. Especially after Starfield. Most PC players think the same and nobody buying 2 consoles at 1000$+ each next gen without physical media. The crash is here.

  @CultureCrave Released Skyrim in 2011, took unit 2018 to even announce elder scrolls 6..... And we're now in 2026. Honestly, I couldn't give a **** about es6 at this point. Your focus now is live service, passion for elder scrolls lost and more money live service won. Stick it up your arse.

  Pusel (@PuselSpielt) reported 33 minutes ago

  @AgentOink You can have loading screens without necessarily breaking the immersion. Starfield did not achieved that and made the loading screens „problem“ more obvious than a Fallout or Elder Scrolls.

  Narik (@MusicNarik) reported 35 minutes ago

  @lastchalice You use *Oblivion Remastered* as an argument that *The Elder Scrolls VI* needs to be released on PlayStation. But people overlook an important detail: *Oblivion* is part of a strategy defined years ago under the leadership of Phil Spencer and Sarah Bond as part of "Project Latitude" when the priority was expanding Xbox games to other platforms. Strategies change. Leadership changes. The market changes. If Asha Sharma truly intends to rebuild the value of the Xbox brand, *The Elder Scrolls VI* is precisely the kind of game that should remain exclusive to the Xbox ecosystem. We are talking about an IP capable of selling consoles, strengthening Game Pass, giving consumers a clear reason to choose Xbox, and even weakening the competition's catalog in the next generation. Exclusivity has never been a problem for Sony, Nintendo, or any company looking to strengthen its ecosystem. On the contrary, it creates an identity for the platform. Xbox's biggest mistake was abandoning that differentiator; now, they are going to pursue it more aggressively. And that is absolutely right: if you want to play games from Bethesda, ABK, and Xbox Game Studios, buy an Xbox, subscribe to Game Pass, or buy the game on Steam—PlayStation and Switch won't have access to these games anymore!

  Elder Scrolls VI will suffer because it’s made by today’s Bethesda. Retaining employees who were already producing mid games wouldn’t fix that.

  darkprometheus112 (@darkprometheus1) reported 37 minutes ago

  @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.

  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?

  OM Pilot (@OM__Gaming) reported 46 minutes ago

  Even this somehow makes The Elder Scrolls seem like a bit of an afterthought - it is their current project and yet it is the last thing mentioned. I just don’t get the disconnect between how successful the franchise is and how it’s treated by the company.

• 
  VG Frogman (@frogpitgaming) reported 46 minutes ago

  @RedDeadDovah @TESOnline They genuinely believe that successful live service games are "set and forget". They don't understand why a live service game that is already successful would need more than a skeleton crew. I don't think they would understand it even if you explained it with crayon drawings.

  St. Michael (@StMichael93) reported 47 minutes ago

  After years of delivering nothing on Fallout and Elder Scrolls (Dear Todd, ESO and Fallout 76 are live service games, for an entirely different fanbase) Microsoft finally pulled the rug on Bethesda and gave their IP to Obsidian again to remake Fallout New Vegas

  @MarcelynnGrimm @tapecandydrums @Gravantus ESO is a C tier MMO. If it wasn’t piggybacking off the Elder Scrolls branding, it would’ve gone end of service a decade ago. It’s done so much damage to the lore too. Every time I hear some ES lore and think “What? That’s retarded! What game is that from?” It’s always from ESO.
