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

  @Wwweffpo @RinoTheBouncer Wrong. Sony doesn't have the rights to Sonic, Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Doom, Fallout, GTA, The Elder Scrolls, Final Fantasy, Bubsy, Assassin's Creed, etc. They only have rights to the stuff they publish. As a result, any of this stuff can be removed at any time...

  @TESOnline Servers down again? You clowns already cost everyone a full day on the last shut down which cut into people's "paid subscription" time, there had better be some compensation waiting in the crown store.

  Been a huge problem for a long time. In 11 years we’ve only got 2 mainline halo games. In 10 years only 2 mainline gears of war games. Not to mention the mess with Bethesda. 11 years since the last fallout, 15 years since the last elder scrolls

  @JamieOffline I'm not arguing that Minecraft, Call of Duty, Halo, and Elder Scrolls are identical products that should all follow the exact same distribution strategy. The issue is that Xbox has publicly tied its strategy to strengthening the value of Xbox hardware, validating long-term fan investment, and rebuilding platform identity. Those goals generally benefit from clarity and predictability. If exclusivity is determined on a "case by case basis", consumers are left wondering which games actually require an Xbox and which don't. That uncertainty can weaken the very hardware desirability Xbox says it wants to create. Sure, Microsoft's size, portfolio diversity, and ownership of multiple publishers explain why decisions may be made differently. But they don't necessarily explain how a case by case approach supports the stated goal of making Xbox hardware more compelling to consumers. So I think the question isn't whether Microsoft has reasons to evaluate games differently. The question is whether that approach aligns with the outcomes they're saying they want to achieve.

  don't really understand why people are so cheesed about elder scrolls if they announce a release everyone will come up with 11 other problems before the thing is out when it comes out, people are gonna dislike it and say they don't make em like they used to

  @thegamersjoint The difference here is that Bethesda just doesn't have the passion they had back in Skyrim. The next elder scrolls will be full of controversies, least of all will be the bugs. KH4 might have a combat system controversy or a convoluted story issue but it will still be great.

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

• 
  Nintendo Prime (@NintyPrime) reported 21 minutes ago

  IMHO, it sounds like basically copying what PlayStation is doing. Is it online multiplayer service style? We got multi. Is it single player or local play only? Likely exclusive. Beyond current commitments, as he said. Elder Scrolls 6 could be a killer launch exclusive for helix tbh.

  @TESOnline Thanks a ton. There are two tickets involved, one submitted by me 260610-001774, and one submitted by my friend 260610-001873. Both tickets are concerning the same issue.

  @Kylerm146110M @JuiceHead33 I don't imagine they will, live service and games with a long multi-platform legacy like Elder Scrolls and Fallout will likely stay multiplat But we will see, things have been changing quickly

  @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.

  @foambreaker @TESOnline Consolidating systems overtime is a very common practice for games that have been in service for 7+ years. Over time some systems become outdated and need a refresh. I'm actually happy ZOS is taking the time to fix up old/outdated systems to keep things relevant.

  @Jorden1506 The only part where it could be lackluster is if you go by exclusives. The overall output of the studios has been great. Over 10 live-service games with constant updates; Diablo 4, Overwatch, Minecraft and Elder Scrolls Online are currently peaking in players. 1/2

  @imo_omar @G27Status Same with Sony I think cod should stay multiplat but anything that's story driven spyro, crash, fallout, elder scrolls and many more 100% exclusive play the Sony game

  Jonas (@GuitaristOnBass) reported 45 minutes ago

  @TESOnline @LordBalvin Don't take this the wrong way, but perhaps it would be better for XBOX to bulk the live service updates into a pre-show or something. It creates a weird dynamic in the showcase to mix them with new titles, not creating the best reactions in viewers— which you don't want either.

  @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.

  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.

  @IsXBOXStillLast @M0NKEYCAN Maybe, maybe not. Imagine if, within a two-year window, the next Doom, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Tony Hawk, Crash Bandicoot, The Evil Within, Dishonored, Wolfenstein, Killer Instinct, and Diablo all released but didn’t come to PlayStation—do you think that would have no impact?

  A lot don’t want to pay a monthly subscription service for a game , games have a subscription service apart of game you already paid for is very scummy, it scummy when elder scrolls online did it , it’s scummy when world of Warcraft does it and it’s scummy when FF XIV does it
