  @GameReviewGuy Don't get me wrong, exclusives are important as they are currently finding out. But certain titles that literally can't make exclusive without finding themselves in serious legal trouble. I know COD and Fable are on the list. I believe Fallout and Elder scrolls may be as well.

  @LaresIsaac14 @eXtas1stv I had forgotten about Call of Duty. It's such a massive release that Game Pass doesn't make up for the lost sales. If they really do end day-one releases, The Elder Scrolls VI will probably be the second franchise to arrive on the service a year later.

  @BethesdaStudios Do people play Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online? I read the numbers…I don’t know anyone who personally does. I tried 76 with a buddy and we enjoyed it for a minute but it was a massive glitch fest and that was like two years 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

  Im holding out hope for fallout, elder scrolls, and even a potential future starfield. If not, then I have no problem booting up old saves on either.

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

  @denkatabro @AION2Official I really don't understand how people can say that live service is a dead end, it's still very much alive. I love single player games, played some like the Witcher games, Fallout series, Elder Scrolls, Deus Ex, Arx Fatalis etc but saying that live service is dead is very asinine

  Ivan^3 +18 (@DarthK4iser) reported 30 minutes ago

  I mean going by elder scrolls you only have a set backstory in 1 because our friendship is required for the story while everything else is more open ended outside of being a prisoner. I mean there 2 imperial agent but those guys can range in service and actions

  Filete Mignon (@ro97247612) reported 32 minutes ago

  If they fix the crashing in NV im sold, probably only proyect im interested in becuase i know well Fallout 5 or Elder Scrolls 6 are gonna be another starfield.

  I'm extremely disappointed in the amount of people not only overlooking these layoffs, but also wishing others got fired (Todd, Emil, etc.) you people are ******* monsters and should be ashamed of yourselves. Some of these YouTubers need to get ahold of their audiences lack of a heart and start wondering why they have such hatred for other people. I do blame certain YouTubers (not all are bad) for the vitriol we are seeing. Stop attacking Todd Howard and acting like he's the problem Btw, they fired a quest designer from The Elder Scrolls VI. One that worked on Fallout London. How is this supposed to get these games out quicker? Look, we can all still be super excited for these games and that Microsoft is gonna focus on them while also acknowledging how ****** the layoffs are. The Elder Scrolls VI is my most anticipated game ever, and I can't wait for Obsidians new Fallout, but that doesn't change the fact of what's happening.

  @ItsYent @DerickZill @TheRealWizar This was the problem I found with Elder scrolls Online. I really did enjoy the game for many years, gameplay was awesome, but in their attempt to not have gear resets, you ended up with stale progression. 7 years in and still using crafted gear from 6 years ago.

• 
  Zoinkz (@Drum2dbeatz) reported 39 minutes ago

  @FarmerChewy @Pirat_Nation Exactly. Their games are fun, but under Microsoft’s cashflow umbrella, Starfield still had a few issues and the next Elder Scrolls still hasn’t been shown or teased So unfortunately, I don’t think these layoffs will have a meaningful impact. If its worse, then that’s on Microsoft

  @Hybrid508 @RinoTheBouncer Nah **** that. I Grew up playing Spider-Man games on other platforms. Didn't stop Sony from worming their way to Spider-Man exclusivity by leveraging the MCU rights. -Spyro -Crash Bandicoot -Fallout -Elder Scrolls -Banjo-Kazooie Should all go exclusive. Sony set the precedent

  Aside from my hype for fallout 3 and new Vegas remastered, this is just kinda lip service. We’ve known about 3 and new Vegas getting remastered for years and they still have nothing to show for elder scrolls 6

  @TESOnline I downloaded a patch on 13 July, game won’t let me sign in. Deleted game from my PS5, reinstalled, still won’t let me log in. What do I need to do? I saw some comments about deleting saved data but too scared I’ll lose all progress and ££££ I’ve spent.

  PlayLaughLogan (@PlayLaughLogan) reported 43 minutes ago

  @JuiceHead33 The actual problem is that most of the time we spend waiting isn't the same time that they're spending making the game. Skyrim came out in 2011 and they only *started* active development of Elder Scrolls 6 in 2023.

  St. Michael (@StMichael93) reported 44 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

• 
  Fatherguy Everyman (@thecathguy) reported 45 minutes ago

  Not working on fallout, and didn’t even start working on elder scrolls until this very year. Are they seriously just focusing the entire company on maintaining ESO? Updating starfield?

  @XboxTimdog Crash, elder scrolls, fallout, and maybe a couple others won’t be exclusive.

  CIA (@cia_rumored) reported 46 minutes ago

  @AndreBelluzzo @kabrutusdeid The size of the game is not a relevant issue to me. I didn't call them amazing, I just said the games were tasteful. The Oblivion remake is what many Elder Scrolls fans have asked for: a 1:1 update with glitches included. I wouldn't call it amazing, but it's tasteful. And in a world where $ 70–$80+ games exist, they listed it at $50. It's not Game of the Year, but it's a totally fine game for people who've wanted to replay Oblivion without it looking like a potato. Bethesda is a horribly managed company, but this was not a miss.

  @IdleSloth84_ He mentioned that before about the live service games. But yeah, Elder Scrolls 6 will likely go exclusive, Fallout 5 will likely be multiplatform.

  Danger Noodle Snekly (@gorgalog) reported 56 minutes ago

  Its highly unlikely that Josh would appear in the TV show for one simple reason, and its the exact same reason that was the cause of many of the NV fans issues with season 2 and that is that Bethesda HATES hard canonizing specific Player decisions in their games and often go extremely out of their way to avoid it whenever possible, even to the point where Elder scrolls has the whole Dragon break lore so they could make every single ending in the 2nd game canon at once and unfortunately, one of the potential ways of doing Honest hearts DLC is killing Graham, so the best your probably gonna get is a group of people that treat him like a prophet or something

  @KeezTheFlex @SentMush @Caffeinefunk 100% agree with this they have way more corporate bs that is their problem. Loading is more minor yet understandable qol. They dont even have the og lore guy for elder scrolls. Like wtf. The main lore guy for everything up to skyrim is gone. ES6 might be doo too from that alone.

  @DaysBehindHQ @Pirat_Nation The problem is they did not utelized those Studio's strengths, How do you buy Bethsheda and not make a new Elder Scrolls game, or Obsidion and not make a new Pillars of Eternity!?

  Narik (@MusicNarik) reported 60 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!
