  @stormfall33 Well, the logical thing would have been for Bethesda to continue the development of The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, but Starfield made everything move, so perhaps the problem was that third game.

  @katanaollie @Wario64 They do third party deals - the issue Xbox faces is that they have to pay more because they have less market share to make up for the sales difference. The only way to gain attention is either overpay (they have every year) or earn attention through creations. Why would you want Elder Scrolls and Fallout exclusive? What does this bring to an Xbox user? These entities are multiplatform and using your wealth to control the market entity and rug pull is dangerous.

  @XBOXGamePass @TESOnline And fix Cyro, dammit. We need bunker buster sets for troll solos who don't die, run away, and take 20 people to take down; it stops all play. Saying this as a solo who dies with honor fighting and gives gg’s. @TESOnline Nightblade needs more Penetration with above-and-beyond.

  @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

  @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.

  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.

  @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.

  @chaosprimeZ Imagine what Fallout, Elder Scrolls and eventually CoD could do for hardware sales if they were console exclusives. Exclusives were never the problem, it’s that Xbox didn’t have the right exclusives. Now they do, and they’ve gone multiplat!

  @SynthPotato If elder scrolls 6 ever comes out i feel like we'll have the same issue cuz i don't think anyone wants to compete with the 2nd largest most anticipated open world game

  Dan (@CrikeyItsDan) reported 27 minutes ago

  @Jiujitsu45 @FuuTop1 I'd rather the Sony strategy. Live service everywhere, single player exclusive. Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls 6 will sell consoles, lots of them. But not if you can get those games on PS as well.

  @TESOnline You need to address the problem that caused the game to no longer work before Sept 1. It didn't happen to me, but two of my friends can't play. Just remember it effects the gaming of more than just the people who can't play.

  @Latoniksyze @TESOnline Does anyone here know how to read? They posted somewhere that they had an issue with console side and that it was delayed. You act so impatient for what? Literally nothing. Taking out your anger on the poor media manager... Truly unemployed behaviors.

  @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

• 
  Ash (@Ashleyscowcroft) reported 39 minutes ago

  @UnkWerks @RinoTheBouncer Except it's not. It's a single player game that happens to include a multiplayer mode. A live service game is something like Destiny, The Elder Scrolls Online or Fallout 76. They tried to make Halo CE exclusive but couldn't because of various contracts already in place.

  @nuhre_ There are a lot of veteran game devs who demand high salaries and many AAA studios are built in expensive cities to attract talent, requiring higher salaries all around. All of this is multiplied by games taking 7 years now instead of 18 months (the real problem right now). I get wanting to avoid insane Halo 2 levels of crunch, but there has to be a middle ground. KOTOR 2 was made in 14 months. Double that to give more breathing room and you still have a high quality game in less than 3 years. I mean seriously, Elder Scrolls 6 could have been Skyrim with slightly better graphics and a new setting. We should be waiting for ES9 right now. Instead it’s been 15 years…. TLDR: AAA game dev is collapsing because of ridiculous dev times that cause salaries per game to become completely unsustainable.

  4. EXCLUSIVITY TALK (PART 1): Xbox-Original single-player franchises (Halo, Forza, Gears, Fable) stay exclusive while Xbox-acquired franchises and multiplayer games (Elder Scrolls, COD, Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, Crash) remain multi-platform. Don't care. Talk to the wall. (4/?)

  @OtterRuin @TESOnline he issue is not my original statement, but that you don't understand my original statement. I don't know how to explain it any easier for you bud. Right now in 2026 the 4 original classes and weapons have ALL THE SAME SKILLS. No innovation at all. Boring AF

  @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?

  EagleEye (@USEagleEye) reported 49 minutes ago

  It has nothing to do with the fact theres a female lead. You don't see Tomb Raider getting hated on. It's the fact studios that take 4-6 years to make games spent time making a game that isn't starring the beloved main character Kratos. Hell people are pissed at Bethesda for making Starfield because it wasted 6-8 years instead of making the next Elder Scrolls. Time is finite for these developers, wasting time on stories no one cares about is the issue.

  @K__Med Elder Scrolls 6 will be on PS5/6. Why? Paid mods from the creator club thing. Heavy micro transactions of any kind are Service games...I suspect.

  @_Tom_Henderson_ PS didn't have a problem selling 100m consoles again. Xbox shouldn't have either but when you buy Activision and make COD exclusive, or Bethesda and they dont make any Fallouts or Elder Scrolls, how did they expect to sell consoles? Its No.1 selling point is 50% cheaper on PC..

  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

  @methylene666 @AntoniusOhii The problem is that the pagan mindset is retarded. There is one world and thus one creator. Paganism only works if you have an elder scrolls type of situation where there are multiple planes of existence each created by God. And even if that was so we only live in one
