  @playstationyesr @sassykitten666 That will fix it because PC and PlayStation people won't get games like elder scrolls 6 etc that'll make em buy xbox

  Yes, Elder Scrolls 6 with no guaranteed release date or anything, or even a guarantee we see it in the next 5 years. The belief alone that it would launch day one on Game Pass made me value the service enough to continue paying for it every year until it appeared.

  @joseagu59410157 @TESOnline If it's not happening in mass, on a predictable basis, then chances are, it's something about your system that is causing the problem.

  Now that it is confirmed Call of Duty will not launch on Game Pass Day One, it naturally makes me think about how this decision could affect The Elder Scrolls VI. CoD is a first party franchise with a lot of microtransactions, so removing it from Day One shows that Microsoft is adjusting how it approaches major releases. Elder Scrolls is one of Xbox’s biggest IPs, and ES6 will almost certainly have a massive budget while being a single player game with far fewer monetisation options than a live service title. Because of that, it is reasonable to wonder whether Microsoft might use a similar strategy there as well. Do you think ES6 could also skip Day One on Game Pass, or is this change truly limited to Call of Duty? I am genuinely curious how you all see this situation. I buy a lot of games myself and I also have Game Pass, so I am looking at it from both perspectives. If live service titles with strong monetisation are difficult to support on Game Pass, it raises interesting questions about how huge single player projects fit into the model. We will see how it develops in the coming months and years. Overall I think the change makes sense, but it also brings up some valid things to think about.

  @lohipuikko @pssucks80155 @Nick_Marseil Timed exclusives solves this problem IMO. Gears E-Day? 12 month Xbox Exclusive. Fable? 12 month Xbox Exclusive. Fallout 5 & Elder Scrolls 6? 12 months only on Xbox/PC. You get my drift

  @TESOnline Of ALL the Vengeance campaigns I hit a giant lag spike and got booted from the entire game during the recent battle at Chal, it's this one, the one where you messed with AOEs.

  @Alex_Kozinets @BethesdaSupport @TESOnline What lag? I don't have lag. I got disconnected at a very inconvenient time, and was presented with an idiotic long login queue. I still wasted almost half of my remaining gaming time of the evening, which btw is already very limited. So frustration is high when **** don't work.

  @Xbox_SUPERFAN The thing with COD versus other first party games is they have 3 studios working full speed to crank out a $400+ million AAA game annually. Halo isn't doing that. Elder Scrolls isn't doing that. Forza isn't doing that. Those games on Day 1 are are all big value adds for Game Pass. If they remove them, they're going to see massive churn. I'm assuming behind the scenes they either didn't see a big enough bump in subscribers for COD or they saw a lot of people sub for a month or two, only play COD, then bounce. If that's the case, and you have polls all over the internet saying drop COD and make it cheaper, then I could see the business sense there. It doesn't make sense to risk subs and cut other first party games from the service, but there's always a chance the economics change

  @pikazart @DaHomieKaiba @AmericanFo58009 Well, I'm speaking from a Christian and non-Arian perspective, so there's some bias here... but compared to the aspect issue in Lovecraft or the Elder Scrolls, three aspects of one being aren't as scary.

  @Raven0178 @Swurv__ Did you actually play crimson desert? Lol. It obviously would have elder scrolls abilities and combat because its an elder scrolls game just everything about crimson desert works so much better than elder scrolls games, cell based games are cumbersome to the extreme, I shouldn't need seven loading screens in the same town, you know? I'm just kind of over that. I want more of what crimson desert offered me. And id love it if that came from a studio like bethesda with its rich story and lore, because honestly, they suck at the back end ****. I think everyone UNANIMOUSLY agrees on that, hence why "its not a bug its a feature" its such a well known bethesda meme. Everything they make comes riddled with bugs and issues and we are fine with it because its bethesda, I dont want to be fine with it, I want my cake and I want to eat it too, I want the rich story and I want the amazing engine for it to run on in the background. You can keep paying for ur slop if you want though.

  @RyanStrifePlays @TESOnline Yes 2 team BG was a design error. 8 vs 8 was fun but all the others modes can disappear forever as an error.

  @vingadorbrambz Even though I don't really care about Call of Duty where does it stop though next year when the next lot of big AAA games coming out which one of them cost too much to make to put in the service and what about the next Elder Scrolls all Fallout game

  @KentonVarda Morrowind Elder Scrolls was almost liek this... The areas were distinct.. didn't level difficulty based on your character level... and although you could fast travel through certain towns, it was a paid service and didn't go everywhere Atmospherically Morrowind > Oblivion for sure

  @imajanitor @Lilulicious Bethesda signed a Contract to keep Fallout and Elder Scrolls multiplat, the problem they're facing selling their games on xbox and PC is that their games aren't selling at all, Todd Howard forgot that Bethesda games sell better on playstation than xbox and PC combined.

  SenjutsuSage (@Senninsage) reported 33 minutes ago

  This doesn't even include games I missed or live service games they've kept supporting like Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online, Overwatch, etc. There was Pentiment, Oblivion Remastered, and more. Xbox has largely over delivered on its roadmap with a few exceptions.

  @JezCorden Single player titles full exclusive PC/Xbox like Elder Scrolls 6. 'Live Service' titles like Forza Horizon multiplat Fable PS5 port needs cancelled. No 3P storefronts on Helix only Xbox PC, BattleNet, and console backwards compatibility. Helix needs subsidized to compete with PS6

  @xonebros I think long running franchises like Elder Scrolls, GTA and even my beloved Halo are in for a rude awakening. The gap between their entries is way too wide. We've gone from 3-5 years to 10-12 or more. The fans of the previous games move on and in some cases become developers themselves. That's where we see games like Crimson Desert, Expedition 33 and more come into the picture. These developers were inspired by the old franchises and made their own games with passion. GTA, Elder Scrolls and Halo are now established corporate franchises. Each entry has come out feeling more like it's trying to appease a corporate overlord that's demanding more revenue be generated from a single title instead of creating a one and done game in a timely manner New gamers are also coming along that aren't familiar with said franchises due to the gap in releases. A kid born on the release day for Skyrim is now in high school. They grew up with Skyrim being "that old game that Dad liked". While some may have gotten curious and gone back to experience and enjoy Skyrim (much like I went back to experience and later love Pac-Man and Donkey Kong), many just played whatever the new hotness was. In many cases, that was a cheap or free to play live service title like Fortnite, Roblox or Minecraft that could be experienced on any device they owned. Elder Scrolls VI and other legacy franchises have to deal with these. I think GTA 6 is going to be a massive test for these legacy titles and I don't think it's going to sell as strong as people think. A combination of unfamiliarity with GTA in Gen Alpha and Gen Z and the inflated cost of modern AAA will be a massive deterrent. I'm sure my fellow Millennial and Gen X gamers will buy it...assuming they haven't aged out of the hobby. Sadly, as that terrible Game Rant top 10 🐐 of gaming survey showed, we're becoming a rare breed in the industry.

  @jizzle701 I don't take no ***** seriously when they mention Elder scrolls bro them shits is boring as **** with trash combat that relieson the community to fix the game & create content. DD2 has it's flaws but I'd play that over any Bethesda game any day.
