  @Its_Jabo The only people that play this game are women with no interest in the elder scrolls. This game has directly cost manpower needed working towards elder scrolls 6. More than that, though, companies will let a live service game run its course before they spend money on smth new

  @MarcelynnGrimm @tapecandydrums @Gravantus ESO is a C tier MMO. If it wasn’t piggybacking off the Elder Scrolls branding, it would’ve gone end of service a decade ago. It’s done so much damage to the lore too. Every time I hear some ES lore and think “What? That’s retarded! What game is that from?” It’s always from ESO.

  @RedDeadDovah @TESOnline They genuinely believe that successful live service games are "set and forget". They don't understand why a live service game that is already successful would need more than a skeleton crew. I don't think they would understand it even if you explained it with crayon drawings.

  @RozzelcopterTV @PlayStation That's a live service game. You do realise that once Bethesda EoS'ed Elder Scrolls Online, your physical copy will become useless right? 🙃 It'll happen, but not anytime soon... but Xbox layoffs is making me not hopeful

  @GamingSinceNES Two potential looming issues: 1). An entire generation has grown up without a mainline Elder Scrolls game. Will they care enough to have FOMO for something that they have gone years without. 2). Do people think BGS is still BGS after Starfield?

  @myrix People like you will never know how much so many Bethesda fans would rather have single player Elder Scrolls and Fallout games instead of the live-service slop games.

  @BethesdaStudios Look, I love the Elder Scrolls and Fallout. Have since I first booted up my Xbox to play Morrowind in 2002. But you guys needed a kick in the ***. I hate that all those employees got fired, but taking 20 years to release a game, and then another decade of no DLC or content for said game, and relying only on modders to fill in what you left out, is the most laziest and snobbiest **** you could have ever run for a company. And not telling people about games or projects coming up, being so tight lipped and superior, and holier than thou art. On a gaming engine that is already 40 years old and barely works at launch, and takes a year to fix the game. Bethesda needed a kick in the ***. And it was long overdue.

  Let’s pretend that 15 year gaps between a series is okay. Let’s just pretend that’s fine. Let’s pretend that you really need all this extra time to make it just right, even though Skyrim took only 7 years and they also released fallout 3 in between. Let’s pretend that Bethesda is pushing out rockstar level of quality games. Let’s pretend that you can actually justify the timetables with the level of polish. Let’s pretend every Bethesda game has been bug free and never had any technical issues at launch. And Let’s also pretend that if they did, they were swiftly patched and fixed and wouldn’t still be suffering on a particular Japanese console years after release. Let’s pretend that it’s critical for Todd Howard to touch every aspect of the game. Let’s pretend he is the only key to success. Why in Oblivion would you NOT allow other companies to run spin offs of the IP. Why WOULDN’T you push for a New Vegas 2? From purely a business decision how does it not make sense to have Elder scrolls spin offs? Not even a small RTS game? Really? Can ANYONE actually explain how this makes a lick of sense when New Vegas has become the cult classic? Any excuse beyond pettiness? Beyond selfishness?

  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)

  The Bethesda Address today screams to me, a level of desperation to maintain a calm temperature to the fans. Gamers should never have been asked to wait 10-15 years for a mainline Fallout or Elder Scrolls game, while you milk wallets for a live service game in Fallout 76, a title that no one cares about. Phil should’ve done something about this years ago, but it took a woman from Wisconsin who doesn’t play games to get in that *** and shake things up. Bethesda is on a hidden timer, and I’m still not sure they’re going to deliver. @XBOX

  @ItsYent @DerickZill @TheRealWizar This was the problem I found with Elder scrolls Online. I really did enjoy the game for many years, gameplay was awesome, but in their attempt to not have gear resets, you ended up with stale progression. 7 years in and still using crafted gear from 6 years ago.

  @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

  Snaga (@Haunted_Hated) reported 29 minutes ago

  @Sir_Crow_ @Super_Nothing @UESP_net Because bethesda answers to their parent company, zenimax media. Zenimax media didn't want BGS to put out an elder scrolls game while ESO, a live service game set in the same universe, was still generating profit. The same reason no Fallout was being worked on.

  Robert Gough (@SilentWraith87) reported 30 minutes ago

  @HazzadorGamin That trailer was the telling everybody that after Starfield it's going to be Elder Scrolls. The problem is again, that implied it was already in actual development and therefore would have been out maybe a year or two after Starfield, that isn't the case.

  Ryan (@Triicksster) reported 33 minutes ago

  So Elder Scrolls 6 is probably taking another 2-3 years minimum, but really I just need Bethesda to get their **** together on optimizing their games' performance. Starfield and especially the Oblivion remake has MASSIVE performance issues, and Bethesda won't even acknowledge it

  Robert Gough (@SilentWraith87) reported 38 minutes ago

  @HazzadorGamin The problem is that trailer didn't give the impression that "Hey we're in the early stages of planning the next Elder Scrolls game." That trailer implied "It's in active development." when it clearly wasn't. It was basically "yeah we're going to work on TES 6 eventually."

  Justin (@Justin__NC) reported 40 minutes ago

  @_Deez_Games It is good news for all their franchises. I welcome it But the problem is that we should be talking fallout 6 and elder scrolls 7 coming out soon. They should be doing concept work for fallout 7 and elder scrolls 7/8 by now, not just starting fallout 5

  @JuiceHead33 18 years or more to make the next Elder Scrolls. Bethesda clearly has a serious problem. Most of the leading staff should be immediately fired.

  Danger Noodle Snekly (@gorgalog) reported 42 minutes ago

  Its highly unlikely that Josh would appear in the TV show for one simple reason, and its the exact same reason that was the cause of many of the NV fans issues with season 2 and that is that Bethesda HATES hard canonizing specific Player decisions in their games and often go extremely out of their way to avoid it whenever possible, even to the point where Elder scrolls has the whole Dragon break lore so they could make every single ending in the 2nd game canon at once and unfortunately, one of the potential ways of doing Honest hearts DLC is killing Graham, so the best your probably gonna get is a group of people that treat him like a prophet or something

  Robert Gough (@SilentWraith87) reported 43 minutes ago

  @TongueToad @TKsMantis If it ain't broke, don't fix it. I think for games like RDR and GTA it's fine. Bethesda however I would say it's worse there because let's be honest Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Starfield, they all look, feel and play exactly the same, down to the UI and while on the one hand

  Lula Molusco do Guerra nas Estrelas (@SW_Squid) reported 44 minutes ago

  @SynthPotato I don’t think it’s such a big deal. It was very obvious in Starfield because the player is constantly fast traveling. This should not be an issue in Elder Scrolls and Fallout where the game takes place in mostly one exterior map.

  Bendak Starkiller (@Bendak5tar) reported 49 minutes ago

  @ixsiel @Its_Jabo Both are true, mainly the Starfield and creation club content, but having a outlet for people to get their “elder scrolls fix” while not having a fire under their *** does give them an excuse to not saying they had manpower moved over specifically the “live service” mindset has.

  @sc0nesandc0ffee @extremedogeball What's unkind is Bethesda substituting live-service slop for the single player Fallout and Elder Scrolls games that the fans actually want. If I had a magic wand to fire every one of them in order to get the game that I want then I would.

  I mean going by elder scrolls you only have a set backstory in 1 because our friendship is required for the story while everything else is more open ended outside of being a prisoner. I mean there 2 imperial agent but those guys can range in service and actions
