  @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.

  @Phant0mp0wer @nickjcal COD gets that much support since it's an annual release with a huge return. Just looking at ABK though, you also have WOW, Overwatch, Crash, Spyro, Starcraft, etc. Just from Zennimax you have Doom, Quake, Wolfenstein, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc. From the remaining studios you have Halo, Gears, Forza, Fable, Outer Worlds, Sea Of Thieves, Banjo, Minecraft, etc. The new Spyro was made from a partnership with a spun off studio, so they aren't limited to their in-house devs to handle all of their IP. They sold Tango, but still own the Evil Within, and you would assume if Arkane is cut, they would retain Prey and Dishonored. The point is there is plenty to work with depending on how this plays out. We still have to see how deep the cuts are, but sometimes you need to prune a tree to help it grow.

  @DrFuryWolf @CultureCrave @theinformation I’m hoping it means they use one there 20+ studios to make games for each others ip’s. Why not have obsidian make a fallout, or inexile make an elder scrolls. Would be sick to see a doom from the coalition or even a halo, or ID making a cod, double fine a crash game, etc.

  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.

  @bethesda You guys seriously piss me off. You have elder scrolls and fallout fans who have been starving for a single player experience for YEARS, but you insist on doubling down on these ******* service games. Stop. Read the room.

  @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

  Dan (@CrikeyItsDan) reported 20 minutes ago

  @The_CrapGamer Xbox COULD be the only console that plays. Halo. Gears. Forza. Fallout. Elder Scrolls. Fable. CoD. (eventually) And more! Exclusives weren't the problem, it's that Xbox didn't have consistently great ones like Sony did. Now they could, and they gave up before even trying!

  @WolfBronsky @Grummz Skyrim was outdated when it came out. They are still using the same Loadscreen Engine. If Elder Scrolls 6 releases with the same issues Starfield did, the studio is as good as dead.

  @Welfare_JBP Gears was never committed to PS5. No PS5 logo ever showed up. Sounds like Service games like COD, Elder Scrolls Online, Fallout 76 would be multiplatform. Things like Halo (next mainline game) Gears and others will be exclusive. Prob too costly to can 8 almost finished games

  @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!

  @TESOnline Nothing to really dislike, but nothing to get overly animated about. Nice changes at the edges when there are critical core problems that bafflingly continue to not be addressed.

  MasMenno (@MasMenno) reported 37 minutes ago

  @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

  @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?

  @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline Can you finally fix Crystal weapon and imbue weapons animation bug when you dual wield please . Literally can’t use either skill as a spammable without getting stuck in some weird heavy attack animation and not showing the skill animation 😔 ps5 before you even ask

  @MrViceKC @GoodGameKofi Like I said I would love to see the Liver service everywhere, single player exclusive strategy. Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls 6 alone move a lot of consoles, but not if you can just get them on your PlayStation.

  @Grummz Why is he sharing insider rumours in one message, but then acting like he is too principled to report on something that wasn't public in another? The truth is, if he knew that everyone not working on Fallout or The Elder Scrolls was at-risk, then we would have reported that too.

  @VexTheSunEater @BethesdaStudios I don't think I even want an Elder Scrolls 6. Just take a look at the Oblivion remaster. It was full of bugs and performance issues not to mention the weird uncanny redesign of khajiits. As a fan I rather them retire Elder scrolls or sell it.

  @BROOKSWOODWORKS I'm glad they're doing something because their game pass direction was not working I think they have to reset and focus on exclusives. Fable, Halo, Bethesda's next Elder Scrolls and Fallout games. These are heavy hitter franchises that can revive the brand IF they are exclusive

  Gta 6 buyers really are smooth brained and dont realize they just let companies know they can do away with physical media. 100 dollars for a code? U do realize this creates a slippery slope right? Whats next? Fallout? Elder scrolls? Call of duty? 1 crash and its over
