  @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.

  @Grummz Why is he sharing insider rumours in one message, but then acting like he is too principled to report on something that wasn't public in another? The truth is, if he knew that everyone not working on Fallout or The Elder Scrolls was at-risk, then we would have reported that too.

  @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.

  @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.

  @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

  While I'm very happy that Xbox plans on investing more in The Elder Scrolls and Fallout, my one concern is that I don't want them to turn The Elder Scrolls into a vending machine of spin offs. 15 years is way too long between games, but we don't want the opposite issue where there's too much of it. What I think @Xbox should do is make The Elder Scrolls have a bigger impact when it comes to media. I see so much Fallout merch, and even annual gatherings, it would be nice to see The Elder Scrolls get that same treatment, especially with Elder Scrolls being my favorite game franchise. I also think that we are due for a new trailer for TES VI. I definitely love Bethesdas short reveal to release window, but I think pulling back the curtain ever so slightly on TES VI would be a good thing. They can still save a full reveal for a later date. This year marks 15 years since Skyrim, so I can't think of a better time. It's been so long between entries, I really think a new reveal is in order with a title reveal. Even an in engine short teaser would do wonders for us Elder Scrolls fans. on the topic of Fallout, I don't mind if other studios get to do a spin off. It happened with New Vegas while BGS was busy with Skyrim, so I don't see a reason why it couldn't happen again. Fallout 3 is being remastered by Virtuous even, so more remasters would do wonders. #Elderscrolls #Fallout

  @GameReviewGuy Don't get me wrong, exclusives are important as they are currently finding out. But certain titles that literally can't make exclusive without finding themselves in serious legal trouble. I know COD and Fable are on the list. I believe Fallout and Elder scrolls may be as well.

  Elsonso (@ElsonsoJannus) reported 15 minutes ago

  @HazzadorGamin BGS has always made games that the majority don't care about. The entire Elder Scrolls series, for example. Fallout, for example. Everything BGS does is for a niche audience. Skyrim stands out, but it is not the rule. Their problem is execution, not concept.

  CIA (@cia_rumored) reported 17 minutes ago

  @MassiveCorgi @BecerratopsTV @pcgamer Bethesda collectively created its own problems. Nobody wanted Starfield; the game sucked, and it ******* most of their resources for years. The market told them "Elder Scrolls" and "Fallout 5," but they decided that they knew better. Bethesda employees are losing their jobs because of inside factors, not outside factors. And yeah, it sucks that probably some good developers got caught in that crossfire. But I'm just sick of these companies insulting the player base and then wanting sympathy when they reap what they sow.

  monke (@air_bagged) reported 19 minutes ago

  @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.

  Virkokka (@virkokka) reported 24 minutes ago

  @SuperP1ayerX @GHBSmith The issue is that I care about Elder Scrolls, not the other games. There's still not enough value for me to buy a console, even if all the other games were also exclusive.

  There's rumors going around that anyone NOT working on Fallout or Elder Scrolls could be facing layoffs (at Zenimax). This is a total reset as Sharma has said. All in on their big IP franchises and if you dont fit that vision, you are on the chopping block.

  McBee (@McBeeHS) reported 31 minutes ago

  @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.

  Sensible decisions to fix Phil Spencer’s mess. Maybe we’ll even see new Elder Scrolls and Fallout games a bit faster as well.

  Bendak Starkiller (@Bendak5tar) reported 37 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.

  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)

  A lot don’t want to pay a monthly subscription service for a game , games have a subscription service apart of game you already paid for is very scummy, it scummy when elder scrolls online did it , it’s scummy when world of Warcraft does it and it’s scummy when FF XIV does it

  @TKsMantis Issue is, at this point I dont even think a fallout, wolfenstein, doom or even quake will save them. Elder scrolls will most likely just delay their doom. The company has lost the talent.

  @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

  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?

  Not working on fallout, and didn’t even start working on elder scrolls until this very year. Are they seriously just focusing the entire company on maintaining ESO? Updating starfield?
