  @XboxTimdog Crash, elder scrolls, fallout, and maybe a couple others won’t be exclusive.

  @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.

  @TESOnline @BethesdaStudios I've been an ESO customer for nearly a decade. The recent gameplay and communication improvements convinced me the game had a bright future, and I saw former players returning because of those changes. As a loyal customer, I'm concerned that reducing the development team now risks undoing that progress. ESO has earned a dedicated community over more than ten years. I hope Microsoft continues investing in one of its most successful live-service games rather than allowing that momentum to fade.

  Layoff's are never good, but I need people to see the larger picture. I'm no corpo's friend but overall most of this is good news. Hear me out... This needed to happen. Asha came in here with a JOB to do, this wasn't going to be easy. She is on the warpath and making the most brutal decisions that are absolutely needed. XBOX has NEVER been this transparent before. Almost every decision made in this post, I actually agree with, as harsh as that sounds. -Every company that starts becoming successful, always ends up stacked top heavy with too many execs. They get paid stupid amounts of money and slow down all the decision making processes. -Acquiring studios hasn't worked. Compulsion Games actually made an award winning and incredible game with South of Midnight, but people just weren't going to ever let that game have a chance. It might have been better off as an indie studio. Not with the XBOX pedigree (not with SBInc attached) -The last Senua game, was bad, real bad. It was really short, didn't have the same level of exploration as the last game and left me feeling jaded with the series being able to do well going forward. -Double Fine makes some amazing games but the last game they made, Keeper, I bet nobody even knew it was out or mainstream wasn't interested in playing a game about a sentient Lighthouse. Indie is best for them, plus they were given grant after grant and even had to kickstarter Pschyonauts 2, they were hemorrhaging XBOX money. -State of Decay, in my option, looks like a mobile game and is best not under XBOX, they don't make the games needed right now. -All the Live service Elder Scrolls Online/Fallout 76 games I will be ******* honest here, are awful, we don't need any more of these games. The reactions every year to seeing the Bethesda logo in game showcases, to be met with yet another update to these live services...and not ES6 or a new Fallout...says everything The fact the layoff are phasing over FY2027, that the studios were not shut down, that they are trying to transition them out to keep them alive, while still keeping their Titles releasing...is actually astonishing. This is actually best case scenario when they could have just scrapped everything and left the studios to close. Releasing the sales figures, releasing the failure of projects, its transparency that we wouldn't get from Sony. They are silent on everything they plan moving forward. Acknowledging consumers not being able to afford games , increased hardware cost, the transparency on operating at a loss. We hardly ever see this talked about. -One of my biggest gripes with XBOX is they don't know how to market Game Pass properly. They did bet on Game Pass being more successful but they don't push it as the main selling point. Hardly any normie knows that Game Pass IS ON PC, YOU DON'T NEED A CONSOLE. Almost every AAA release is on there day one, I don't pay for most games anymore. - The upcoming Beast of Reincarnation is on Game Pass, as a streamer, this has been a lifesaver for me. Games I can't afford, I can play. Games I don't want to play more than once or to own, I get through Game Pass. I've slimmed down to only the PC Game Pass subscription and saved so much money. -XBOX needs to market GAME PASS as the cheaper option and way to play, vs players not being able to buy more than 2 AAA games a month on average. This all needed to happen. The reset of XBOX needed to happen. I've been shocked at how little games they released last year or even this year. They are not going to survive operating the way they did. I can't believe I would have high praise for a CEO but Asha is absolutely the person they needed. She is ruthless while trying to strip away hiding the state the company is in. She wants to connect the community again. Its going to get bloody and a hard hill to climb but we could have seen XBOX on the verge of going under, if they didn't reset like this. I will wait and see. I hope we don't see a push into AI or the same shady practices Sony are doing. -None of these companies I have any allegiance to. XBOX needs to prove the reset is warranted and time will tell if they can take advantage of giving the players better options in a gaming climate where our ownership is being taken away and gaming is fast becoming a hobby the average income consumer is being priced out of. Anyway, Get they *** Asha, absolute BEAST of a CEO. Take command, take those heads, keep us informed and don't let them stop you from flipping this entire corpo structure on its head. Don't let us down. I wait to see what changes can happen to save this entire industry, not just XBOX. (also Asha, you can make the most baller move ever, buy Bungie back off Sony and make Destiny 3)

  @skitten_hund Bethesda went to the live service model so the Elder Scrolls story has been progressing in ESO. You'll likely just be in a new age of Elder Scrolls when you rejoin. Starfields problem were load screens and barren planets. Gameplay and systems were fine. They're probably holding back to see what Fable and GTA 6 can put out for a stable world with NPCs that live in it before committing.

  @GeraltofGoonia The only problem is no one is making games good anymore. Elder scrolls 6 is guaranteed to be bad.

  I'm extremely disappointed in the amount of people not only overlooking these layoffs, but also wishing others got fired (Todd, Emil, etc.) you people are ******* monsters and should be ashamed of yourselves. Some of these YouTubers need to get ahold of their audiences lack of a heart and start wondering why they have such hatred for other people. I do blame certain YouTubers (not all are bad) for the vitriol we are seeing. Stop attacking Todd Howard and acting like he's the problem Btw, they fired a quest designer from The Elder Scrolls VI. One that worked on Fallout London. How is this supposed to get these games out quicker? Look, we can all still be super excited for these games and that Microsoft is gonna focus on them while also acknowledging how ****** the layoffs are. The Elder Scrolls VI is my most anticipated game ever, and I can't wait for Obsidians new Fallout, but that doesn't change the fact of what's happening.

  meh (@LAmeh87) reported 23 minutes ago

  tent pole series games and in between those releases pump out new Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk, and so on level games. Games that will be done well received and sell well but aren't going to be nearly as expensive to make as a Fallout or Elder Scrolls. I think that while layoffs are

  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

  @Stallion83 Ways for Xbox to win: 1. Stick to the big IP's (although this was a problem at one point) 2. Name the new system Xbox 720 3. Show commitment to both digital and physical 4. Make playing online free 5. Drop game pass altogether or make it $10-$15 for indie games / legacy titles 6. Launch system with Elder Scrolls 6 7. Just make their games based off of what they were during the 360 days 8. Lean in to nostalgia of the 360 since we are at that point 9. Players can use current controllers on new system to help save money. 10. Make COD exclusive/timed exclusive 11. More console exclusives

  @RinoTheBouncer That 2011 outage is why I left PlayStation but if I can I will get a PS6, its going to have more than double the install base of the next Xbox (if Xbox even makes a console). Really pissed about the discs though, since the word was the PS6 was also going to play PS4 and PS5 Discs.....and I was looking forward to getting a number of PS4 and PS5 games I missed out on. I assume those games will play on the PS6 but they will be digital and probably not nearly as inexpensive. I'll have GTA VI eventually........unless I get it as a gift I really don't care about the game very much......the way people feel about GTA VI is how I feel about The Elder Scrolls VI. Someone dumping shares when you know they had to have taken a hit as well, it sadly typical.......I would have held for a little while longer. Sure people are big mad against PlayStation right now but if you were like "Playstation 6 Coming Holiday 2027 Pre Order Now"........it would be sold out and on backorder before the commercial was even over. Maybe, Maybe they can have an all digital future.......but why not an "OPTIONAL" Disc Drive with it? Even if there are 0 PS6 games on Discs, people would still want to play movies on it (4K Discs among other formats) as well as maybe discs from the PS4 and PS5. Since we all know Sony is going to make you buy it again if you don't already own a digital copy of a game you also own on disc. Then by the time PS7 comes out people would be as fully integrated as possible with the digital formats.....probably well over 95% of all sales by then or 100% if its the only format.

  @danno_omen @Sonnie_Slim Well live service are the games they want for sure. Sticky games are extremely valuable in this economy but between those 2 games, budget vs profit will tell but mega hits would be the CoDs, Elder Scrolls, Minecrafts as the surefires. Outside of that, we'll soon discover how low their bar is as I see games coming from id Software in a shaky position 🫣

  Daniel Ratterree (@RatterreeDaniel) reported 33 minutes ago

  @GameReviewGuy It doesn't matter. Most play live service. Of the rest most won't move or they'll go to PC. Sony has never been about the exclusives. It's the third party that sells PlayStation. Elder Scrolls/Fallout do offer an interesting test of that but for sure Halo/Forza wont move anyone

  @DMC_Ryan Asha had the ***** to do what the world wanted She also has the ***** to make elder scrolls, fallout, doom, wolfenstein, starcraft, 1st/3rd person warcraft game, crash bandicoot, spyro etc all the new permanently exclusive Flagship franchises of XBOX after seeing the world beg for exclusives. She saw that gears, forza halo never worked they were can't Carry a brand in this age. A DECADE THE WORLD BEGGED FOR EXCLUSIVES AND THEN PHIL AND SARAH PUT EVERYTHING ON PLAYSTATION when Playstation had NOTHING TO COMPETE. F'ing morons Phil and Sarah are an embarrassment

  @GenePark The thing with exclusives is that I have a 300 games backlog on PC and I can live without Elder Scrolls or God Of War. Especially after Starfield. Most PC players think the same and nobody buying 2 consoles at 1000$+ each next gen without physical media. The crash is here.

  @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

  @Mangalawyer Problem is not having diversity Elder scrolls also have diversity, but like Starfield, it's not forced but lore accurate and with good writing that we don't even need to complain about it Plus,Starfield team just wanted to put their own ideals instead of listening to todd and others, there is a reasn why there are stuff in starfield which make zero sense to be there like that mug and all
