  @_Deez_Games I hate that my gut instinct is right every time there's a Bethesda announcement. Me: Sees Fallout standby screen. My gut: Hold on bro, it's just an F76 ad. Me: Sees something Elder Scrolls My gut: Hold on bro, it's just TES online. I'm so sick of games as a service. 🤬

  @Amazing_ParaBoy first, the nemesis system was never patented from elder scrolls. you’re thinking of middle-earth. second, “blueprint” is used in a colloquial sense to refer to the bare-bones idea of something. there isnt any issue with how people are using it

  Ash (@Ashleyscowcroft) reported 7 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.

  "Just 4 Games" was a short term solution and issue for XBOX says Matthew Ball. I'm predicting that most single player games are EXCLUSIVE to almost everyone. Elder Scrolls 6 and such... we'll see.

  People compare it to Elder Scrolls 6. In hindsight, I think they only announced it to soften the blow of the mobile game they announced in the same showcase. (So people would be more open minded about it knowing ES6 was on the horizon). Or development trouble, maybe.

  BRAP (@BRAP_Podcast) reported 20 minutes ago

  @JamieOffline I'm not arguing that Minecraft, Call of Duty, Halo, and Elder Scrolls are identical products that should all follow the exact same distribution strategy. The issue is that Xbox has publicly tied its strategy to strengthening the value of Xbox hardware, validating long-term fan investment, and rebuilding platform identity. Those goals generally benefit from clarity and predictability. If exclusivity is determined on a "case by case basis", consumers are left wondering which games actually require an Xbox and which don't. That uncertainty can weaken the very hardware desirability Xbox says it wants to create. Sure, Microsoft's size, portfolio diversity, and ownership of multiple publishers explain why decisions may be made differently. But they don't necessarily explain how a case by case approach supports the stated goal of making Xbox hardware more compelling to consumers. So I think the question isn't whether Microsoft has reasons to evaluate games differently. The question is whether that approach aligns with the outcomes they're saying they want to achieve.

  @Colteastwood Which ones? How do they choose? Do I need an XBOX to play Elder Scrolls VI? How about the next Halo? Right now, no one knows. And that’s a huge problem for player acquisition. I need a Switch to play the next Mario and Zelda, I need a PS to play God of War and Spider-Man. XBOX?

  Curse (@Cursemark143) reported 24 minutes ago

  @PaulTassi @mjHushpuppy Phil really dug a hole for Asha before he left. I wouldnt be surprised if Asha never wanted Halo, Forza 5 & 6, or Fable to come to the PS5. It was never her decision, but at the same time, if she takes them away she will face the backlash because they are already present in the PS Store. Blade will be a Console Exclusive, that much is kinda obvious. Sony has their super heroes and now XBOX has Blade, its only fitting. They said that Live service games will be multiplatform and everything else will be a "case by case" scenario.. this is why I believe that having The Elder Scrolls 6 on XBOX and PC alone, is probably a discussion being had... Now will that happen... Im leaning more towards "No". But if it happens, Im buying an XBOX. I have to play The Elder Scrolls 6 no matter what. I dont think its the platform, its the game. If The Elder Scrolls 6 isnt on Playstation, that wont stop me from getting it. To be honest, I would sell my Playstation to get an XBOX to play TES6 and I can still play GTA6 but not vice versa. And to me personally TES6 > GTA6.

  @TESOnline @XBOXGamePass Please fix the UI if you haven't already so you get the UI corresponding to the mode you're playing(Controller/M&K) not a Frankenstein mixture

  @EPG_Gaming_247 @MarathonDevTeam Yes, because it's not like we don't have live service games such as World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy Online, Guild Wars 2, and Elder Scrolls Online. There's still a lot more going on, and you want to tell me 10 Years is too long?

  @djkkyle @orielkiller @shinobi602 I don’t live on Twitter, FMS was broken at launch, same with halo infinite, starfield did well, the rest are good but not system sellers like gears, next mainline balo, elder scrolls 6 etc.

  Shadowe (@ShadoweLily) reported 31 minutes ago

  @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.

  Chud Dwyer (@Jolteoff) reported 31 minutes ago

  @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

  Neon Bird Games (@NeonBirdGames) reported 33 minutes ago

  @GameOverThirty @HoegLaw Case in point: Elder Scrolls VI Most people are already jumping on the idea it’d fall under the “single player, therefore exclusive” idea, but Bethesda games are really more broad platforms themselves with mods and such like a “live service” would be

  John Gets Gaming (@john_goetz) reported 39 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.)

  @SensaiGaia1 @TESOnline Yes you can. The problem is that the added gold and xp is too little for the invested extra time.

  @_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..

  @stormfall33 PlayStation’s issues seem easy to point out. For Xbox, though, it feels like it needed tough leadership that mandated specific titles. The idea of buying the Elder Scrolls and Fallout IP and over the course of 5 years doing nothing with it is insane.

  JamesCartyBoy88 (@JamesCartyBoy88) reported 49 minutes ago

  @Andy_VGC Part of the problem with Xbox is they are too hands off and just let devs make whatever they want, which doesn't always result in success. Obsidian should be doing Fallout and Elder Scrolls spinoffs while Bethesda do the mainline games.

  @pushsquare So fake bro all live service everywhere all prior agreements honored….system seller games 1-2 a year like Elder Scrolls 6 exclusive….all others multiplat. Both companies will have 1-2 console exclusive games a year when Helix drops Xbox will have a 1000

  @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
