  @XboxTimdog @HazzadorGamin i’m concerned about xbox because they literally have a single digit , lower than 5% margin. And they own my favorite ips through acquisitions! so yes i’m concerned that spyro, COD, elder scrolls, doom, crash, fallout, dishonored, warcraft, starcraft are gonna end up as trashware

  @asha_shar Now fix Bethesda Game Studios please. Pathetic to not get another Fallout game is 11 years. Insanity to still be using Creation Engine. Elder Scrolls game still not arrived. Starfield was just a bad game. Focus on that studio and fix it please. Make it good again please

  @Grummz The industry keeps acting confused while the answer is right in front of them. Fallout 76 and ESO soaked up years of time and resources while fans have been begging for a new Elder Scrolls. Most players don’t want endless live service slop, cash shops, and seasonal grinds. They want the next great RPG. Stop giving people what investors want and start giving them what gamers actually asked for.

  @thunderba11r I mean, elder scrolls 6 is the game they’re working on right now and have been for some years. I think the issue was announcing it waaaaaay too early. I also don’t blame them for trying something different with starfield, even if it didn’t totally pan out how they wanted.

  @Genie_93 @BBCNews If Elden Ring’s servers turn off, it’s playable. ARC Raiders is useless if the server turns off. The monsters are designed to be beaten by teams unless you want to grind for some reason. There’s also special events. Most live service is the second bucket. How many people actually play the same game for years if it’s not a social game with a community? ie world of Warcraft vs elder scrolls.

  @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.

  @CGRuby_VT I always say a similar thing about The Elder Scrolls. They are poorly made games with great ideas. The fact that the first mods for them are massive bug fix patches and UI upgrades says a lot about how poorly made they are.

  @chaosprimeZ The problem is... they won't be getting those many XBOX exclusives on the PS5 Even if XBOX hardware is insufficient, PS5 is also nowhere near to sustain a 3rd party Microsoft Gaming They will shut down most of the studios, and will only focus on CoD/Forza/Fallout/Elder Scrolls

  @gamer5695 @charlieINTEL The 2.0 didn't help them it was still crap, the engine isn't even the problem with Bethesda it's the devs and Todd Howard they don't know how to make good games anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if elder scrolls 6 is a MMO and they continue with the slop.

  @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 Which ones? How do they choose? Do I need an XBOX to play Elder Scrolls VI? How about the next Halo? Right now, no one knows. And that’s a huge problem for player acquisition. I need a Switch to play the next Mario and Zelda, I need a PS to play God of War and Spider-Man. XBOX?

  @JPearson96 @VGC_News Live service is stuff like Elder Scrolls Online, Fallout 76, He didn't actually say multiplayer games, he strictly said live service games. Gears has multiplayer but isn't a service game, same with the next mainline Halo, it won't be on PS

  Paul Tassi (@PaulTassi) reported 42 minutes ago

  I don't really get the Xbox plan here. Even trying to "accelerate" things, you are not going to get a new Halo or Elder Scrolls or Fallout sooner than every 4-5 years. There is still no hard and fast reason to get a console with PC and cloud available. The next actual console is going to be hugely expensive anyway barring significant changes. The most vocal Xbox fans on here cheerleading everything already have a console and Game Pass, and the ceiling for that subscription service is hard to break through, much less making up the losses from the 50% hike. I don't see the vision.

  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.

  As funny as this is, it speaks to the expectations that Bethesda have setup for themselves as publishers and developers, and this year’s showcase exemplified this perfectly. Fans have been expecting MORE from Bethesda and will continue to expect MORE from Bethesda, and it just feels like no matter what kind of feedback they receive, they simply will not back down from showing the millionth update for their live service titles on a show stage that is better served for more exciting announcements, like the DOOM story DLC, Blade, Wolfenstein 3 and yes, even Elder Scrolls VI.
