  @TESOnline No one cares about the crown store lol how about u fix your broken game 🤔

  @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

  @LukeDutchh Totally agree. £100 for GTA6 or Elder Scrolls 6 is fair. Problem is EA etc will see this and start charging £100 for FC/2K etc 😩

  @TESOnline The new furnishing drop rate is abysmal. Please return the dueling mat to what it was before you “fixed” it. It’s been over a year. The invisible bottom became a feature and people bought a LOT of them for that reason. You really let down the housing community with that “fix”.

  @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

  @YC_0015 It was the equivelant of Bethesda and Todd Howard announcing Elder Scrolls 6 despite not wanting to for the good PR it would create / save face from their live service (for them Fallout 76)

  @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.

  @WolfheartFPS @KJP_Plays Thank you for saying this. I even talked to the devs about it. I know I am used to from software games but still Witcher 3 is not using all it's mechanics to create truly challenging hard difficulty. But combat is their common problem like Elder scrolls series

  @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

  @_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..

  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

  @Wario64 Spencer's "let the devs do what they want" strategy dug them in such a deep hole. Years of nothing but live-service updates from Halo, SoT, Elder Scrolls, and Fallout. Early stages of development for the Cuphead sequel when the series is 9 years old. It's insane

  @DarkEnzo0309 In the thread it says basically anyone who is not working on Elder Scrolls or Fallout is out. I want to see a Wolfenstein 3 too. But I have a feeling that we wont.

  @BRAP_Podcast I think the problem is people keep looking at Xbox like it's one console company with one goal. "Case by case" makes perfect sense when you remember Microsoft isn't just managing Xbox hardware. They're managing Xbox, PC, cloud, Game Pass, Bethesda, Activision, Blizzard, Mojang, King, and studios that came with existing contracts, platform histories, and audiences. Minecraft shouldn't be judged the same way as Halo. Halo shouldn't be judged the same way as Call of Duty. Call of Duty shouldn't be judged the same way as Sea of Thieves or Elder Scrolls. The idea that every game should follow one blanket exclusivity rule sounds simple, but Microsoft's gaming business isn't simple. People also keep forgetting scale. Xbox is a huge business, but it's still one division inside Microsoft. Microsoft doesn't operate like Sony or Nintendo because Microsoft isn't Sony or Nintendo. Those companies exist primarily to serve their gaming ecosystems. Microsoft's gaming ecosystem exists inside a much larger company. So no, "case by case" isn't mixed messaging to me. It's literally them saying they're going to evaluate each game, studio, audience, contract, and business case individually instead of forcing every title into the same box.

  @GameReaper187 The last Doom tanked. Diablo, Elder Scrolls and Fallout are classic PC franchises. This is the problem they have better PC IP than console IP. And people have PCs so that’s where they play them.

  Dan (@CrikeyItsDan) reported 32 minutes ago

  @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!

  Big Yonk (@TheBiggestYonk) reported 34 minutes ago

  @Jetifyed2077 The problem is modern gaming development time being like 7+ years in some cases, and instead of literally just making a different studio, Bethesda would rather take 14+ years to create a new IP + a new Elder Scrolls game before doing the next Fallout. Skyrim was in 2011 lol

  Marchosias (@marchosias30) reported 42 minutes ago

  @KingpinThawne …sort of? technically speaking? in my mind, the main issue with properly calling them “open world” is that usually, there isn’t a whole lot of stuff to do, at least not compared to stuff like Final Fantasy or Elder Scrolls.

  @IGN Rushing The Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Halo just to pad the balance sheet for a corporate spinoff is how you get unpolished, broken games at launch. If Asha Sharma forces these studios to sprint to the finish line, she’s going to permanently damage Xbox’s biggest IPs

  @stormfall33 Elder scrolls 6 is likely in development hell to some extent. There have been rumours of serious issues with development and I believe that. Skyrim was 2011, GTA V was 2012 and we are still getting GTA 6 first despite the money they make on GTA online.

  @TESCountdown Yup, we keep waiting and getting elder scrolls online and fallout 76 live service updates instead. Truly disheartening

  @UESP_net Solo is NOT the same as single player. ESO & FO76 are the reason Elder Scrolls 6 & Fallout 5 are taking so long. Bethesda think they delivering what we want & the bean counters are happy to string us along because the live service model is far more profitable.

  David | Rational Buck Podcast 🦌 (@RationalBuckPod) reported 49 minutes ago

  @Grummz I mean all they gotta do is release more staples and cash in. They bought or raised studios that stopped producing. They’re finally getting back to it but if we’d had the next Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Fable, and good Halo with more haste they never would’ve been in trouble.

  @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.

  @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

  You know what ******* choice I got? To not play that ****. To leave Sony and get a ******* Xbox, they still sale CDs for you disc jockeys. Everything else is based off what if.. What if they close the servers? Then you can’t play anyway. What if I wanna play 10 years later? Why would you wanna do that? Gaming is far evolved from that, that’s why GTA is so special. It’s one of the only games that run that long these days. ****** still playing on they same elder scrolls accounts from ******* high school bro Same COD account since high school. Your preference for a CD is to merely own what you paid for and you have every right .. But they’ve made gaming an experience, you experience this **** till we either shut it down or make a new title. I don’t see what the issue is when you’re not currently playing anything right now more than a year old thats not GTA. Make it make sense

  John Gets Gaming (@john_goetz) reported 59 minutes ago

  @rino_yung @Dratuna_ @Mangalawyer Right but they had never done a non mobile kinda thing before so to make a non mobile game I'm sure they appreciate and were helped by assistance. My point is if you're going to take some, give some back. And I think Sony gave plenty to justify exclusivity and ensure its success. I just hate when something previously successful is made exclusive or someone other than those who helped it succeed buy it (Elder Scrolls, Doom, Spyro,Crash, etc.)

  @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
