  @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.

  @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?

  @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.

  @vrakhiri Mostly vanilla unless there's a QoL mods that fix something I hate Only exception really is Elder Scrolls, even on day 1 of Skyrim I downloaded a few mods

  @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.

  @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.

  @RossTweetsGames Stop the fake weirdo confusion all live service everywhere all prior agreements honored….likely big system seller games exclusive 1-2 a year just like PS….pretty sure if you want to play Elder Scrolls 6 on a console better buy a Xbox

  @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.

  @tris_ko_nel @mjHushpuppy Well "why now" is because of Asha. Her and Phil's idea of what Xbox should be differ from one another. It was so bad that people thought Xbox was becoming a Publisher rather a Platform competitor and the expectation was that they would eventually ditch the console all together. And Gears of War is not Live Service like Elder Scrolls Online. Gears main attraction is the Story & Coop play. Now to answer "why get an XBOX if its on PC". If you have a PC chances are you are content already because you will have access to XBOX. But for those that only have a PS5 and like having a console over a PC (which is a lot of damn people), the only real way I can see them converting, is exclusives. Great games sell consoles. There a lot of people that still have PS4's and cant afford a PC or PS5 (which has risen in price.) If Asha is trying to make everything at XBOX affordable again with Gamepass, future consoles, and a great line up of exclusives than I believe XBOX can become a huge competitor again for Console sales. I mean idk if Im alone on this, but like I said if I didnt have a PC, and The Elder Scrolls 6 was locked to XBOX/PC, I would buy an XBOX. The same reason applies to GTA6. Its not releasing on PC until after console, and its because Sony expects people to buy their console for ONE game. If you can lock down ONE insanely good game, you can sell your console like hot cakes. If TES6 is locked to XBOX I can see XBOX's getting sold left and right. But maybe Im just glazing The Elder Scrolls lol idk

  @Asif_not_here @Grummz Fallout 76 might be in trouble but they have a lot to do on elder scrolls online. So they have SOME time to buy themselves. Iirc 76 doesn't have a lot of ppl playing but I might be wrong

  @_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. 🤬

  @NikTek They do one at a time The thinking among the fans for a long time is that they really need to split into separate teams independently handling Elder Scrolls, Fallout and now Starfield. Maybe a fourth team who does nothing but fix bugs and do feature updates to the Creation Engine.

  @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.

  Cynder (@CynderFlamez) reported 47 minutes ago

  Managed to somewhat fix the screen tearing by turning VSync on and capping framerate at 30, but the pop in is still atrocious. Other than that, it’s a fantastic game and really scratches the Elder Scrolls itch. Just, maybe play it on PC if you have one.

  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/?)

  @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?

  FinalBoss.io (@FinalBoss_io) reported 51 minutes ago

  If the fix for Xbox is “more Halo, Fallout, and Elder Scrolls,” that’s not a strategy. That’s a confession that the bench is thin. Speeding up legacy franchises only works if the games stay distinct. Otherwise you get expensive factory output with a familiar logo.

  JimRaven (@JimRaven93) reported 53 minutes ago

  @thegamersjoint The difference here is that Bethesda just doesn't have the passion they had back in Skyrim. The next elder scrolls will be full of controversies, least of all will be the bugs. KH4 might have a combat system controversy or a convoluted story issue but it will still be great.

  @Tenkay23 @IdleSloth84_ I think SOD3 is a “live service” title. And I think that Senua may be a smaller project that they don’t see selling consoles. It’s all speculation, but BIG SP games is what I’m thinking. Gears, Halo and fable (going forward), Elder Scrolls, Fallout, etc

  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.
