  After 15 years of not working on a new Elder Scrolls game, Bethesda staff threaten to...*checks notes*...continue not working on an Elder Scrolls game.

  @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

  @TESOnline That all those people lost their jobs because Microsoft is a greedy money grubbing can't say those words on here. The best thing Microsoft could do is hire them back right now. Or elder scrolls and all that money will go bye-bye. We don't want your maintenance problems Microsoft.

  @SpawnYaardReply @Higgs_GG Other games do this too. It’s not a Ubisoft problem. If you wanna blame someone, blame that damn elder scrolls horse armor.

  440 unionized Bethesda and ZeniMax workers laid off. Now the people making The Elder Scrolls 6 are warning about delays, crunch, and QA hotfixes before the game even has a public roadmap. That’s not “production is hard.” That’s management deciding the people who ship the game are the part it can absorb. If your workers need a march to tell you the schedule is broken, the schedule was never real.

  @IGN They should have moved on like 5 years ago. That’s the issue with these studios, they beat their games for Pennie’s when development of new games (with dedicated focus) would pay out more. We should have an elder scrolls online 2 at this point

  @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.

  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.

  Nah **** that the problem is you’ve STOPPED MAKING THE GAMES WE LOVE, legendary studio turned to ****, I was a CHILD when Skyrim came out, I’m about to BUY A ******* HOUSE IN THIS ECONOMY AND ELDER SCROLLS 6 IS SOMEHOW STILL 2-3 YEARS AWAY, **** YOU DIE

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline i deleted and reinstalled it, same issue. Im on PS5 and just spent 6 hours reinstalling the game for it to not fix the bug like you said.

  Daddy Warpig (@DaddyWarpig) reported 21 minutes ago

  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.

  Is Halo 7 out yet? (@Halo_HypeGuy) reported 22 minutes ago

  Avowed could've been an Elder Scrolls spinoff. I respect Obsidian for trying to do something half-orginal tho. **** Bethesda and Todd Howard, how you keep your biggest IPs on live service hell for a decade!?

  MisterMalaka (@MisterMalaka) reported 24 minutes ago

  @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.

  Shifty_Chicken (@chicken_shifty) reported 26 minutes ago

  @SEnighTHO @JezCorden Fallout and Elder Scrolls arent the XBox identity. Both predat XBox. Fallout was a completely different game before the IP was bought. Problem is XBox's core identity games were selling consoles to begin with. EDay will be an interesting test.

  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

  @Grim_Dutch @RedDeadDovah @TESOnline And you think fewer people working on the game is going to fix those things? If anything it's going to make those problems worse

  recon (@longshotrecon) reported 30 minutes ago

  @KingFanMan @Microsoft 14 layers of management is far too many. Nothing moves efficiently when every idea and decision has to fight its way through that much bureaucracy. Here’s a simple way to picture it: Try dragging a 140-pound weight across the room. It’s doable, but it’s exhausting, you move slowly and burn through a ton of energy. Now take away 90–110 pounds and try again. The lighter load travels much farther, much faster, with far less effort. When that “weight” represents creative ideas, design decisions, and priorities, too many layers create massive drag. The result is stagnant complacency. Xbox needs to be able to move again. We need quality over quantity. Bethesda should have been much further along with The Elder Scrolls VI by now, and a new mainline Fallout game should feel more imminent especially after the huge momentum from the TV series. Instead, for years resources went toward supporting live service titles like Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online while the big single player RPGs that define the studio took a backseat. The hardcore players who keep those live service games running do valuable work, but they don’t move consoles or create the same cultural moments that a major new Elder Scrolls or Fallout release does. I do feel bad for the people who got laid off plenty of talented developers got caught up in this. Spreading the studio too thin across too many projects clearly wasn’t working. Hopefully this reset forces a sharper focus on the core franchises so the next big games actually land with real impact.

  @luke749478 @CauaRFrancisco1 But now they can have Elder Scrolls exclusively, what's the problem😌

  Sweet Babes Incoming(SBI) (@HS07641012) reported 38 minutes ago

  @Pirat_Nation Elder scrolls is all about letting modders do all the work, MS can easily make loads from paid mods, BGS just have to make a big unified open world with some basic stuff in and a robust mod tool, the game can be released in alpha state and still make hundreds of millions over time. Not a lot of devs needed. Other than wokeness, biggest problem for fartfield is they fractured the open world with space stuff which lead to many hating that game.

  @LevelsUnlucky @ZorroRideThrice Real fans care about consistency and quality in comic, without quality they are not entertaining to read, and without consistency, you don't know what you read this week actually is going to be a thing next week. The major comic companies have lacked both of these things for more than 10 years, but especially the last 10 years. If Nintendo came out and said Mario's goal in the game, this has never been to save peach, It was to protect the environment of the mushroom Kingdom from the damage. Bowser is inflicting to it, everyone would laugh that off as stupid and fake. An actual example in the elder scrolls there is a set number of daedric princes, and this number was set so hard in the lore that it's tied to the fundamental structure of the universe, in elder scrolls online they decided to add another one, So you either have to accept this one this one daedric Prince added to the lore, not even from the main team and disregard the decades of lore that came before it, or you disregard the existence of that daedric prince. The big comic companies have been breaking their own universe for decades, and then building upon its broken corpse just breaking it more, that anyone who actually cares about comic books, actually cares about having consistency in their world of their characters. Has to ignore 90% of what they've put out over the last again 10ish years.

  @RozzelcopterTV @PlayStation That's a live service game. You do realise that once Bethesda EoS'ed Elder Scrolls Online, your physical copy will become useless right? 🙃 It'll happen, but not anytime soon... but Xbox layoffs is making me not hopeful

  There it is the official death of any faith I have in a GOOD elder scrolls 6. Veteran employees getting fired because they were being forced to make a ****** live service game and had one single flop in their line of single player open world rpgs is crazy.

  @voEROSttv I loved Elder Scrolls Online but just like with WoW, I really didn’t enjoy the raids. Raids are great if you enjoy the DPS as a group but I like to see what my character can do without the chaos. Also I have a customer service job, I don’t want to socialize very much in the game. Sounds weird I know but I do love the quests.

  MisterMalaka (@MisterMalaka) reported 49 minutes ago

  @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.

  @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

• 
  MidwestNomad (@dedmeetdm) reported 54 minutes ago

  @BethesdaStudios Well that's a bunch of word salad PR BS. It'll be almost 20 years since a proper Elder Scrolls, and nearly as much before the next Fallout. Microsoft should shut you down and give these franchises to a company that actually cares. You all left Fallout 4 broken for over a year.

  John Ernenputsch (@jpooch21) reported 56 minutes ago

  @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?

  @ZakkenKloot @vicious696 The issue is he wants to play XBOX games on PlayStation, he wants to play Elder scrolls 6 on playstation , which is his right , don’t be fooled by this dude and I hope Asha does not put it playstation , just to see that uproar from this guy and the likes of paul tassi
