  @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.

  @BRAP_Podcast @onepiece9681 I really question your intelligence. They never had good exclusives for it to amount to anything. If they had elder scrolls crash and call of duty and others for a substantial amount of time they be in a different situation. We saw how much better they did during 360 era.

  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.

  @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

  @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

  @YC_0015 It was the equivelant of Bethesda and Todd Howard announcing Elder Scrolls 6 despite not wanting to for the good PR it would create / save face from their live service (for them Fallout 76)

  @BRAP_Podcast I think the problem is people keep looking at Xbox like it's one console company with one goal. "Case by case" makes perfect sense when you remember Microsoft isn't just managing Xbox hardware. They're managing Xbox, PC, cloud, Game Pass, Bethesda, Activision, Blizzard, Mojang, King, and studios that came with existing contracts, platform histories, and audiences. Minecraft shouldn't be judged the same way as Halo. Halo shouldn't be judged the same way as Call of Duty. Call of Duty shouldn't be judged the same way as Sea of Thieves or Elder Scrolls. The idea that every game should follow one blanket exclusivity rule sounds simple, but Microsoft's gaming business isn't simple. People also keep forgetting scale. Xbox is a huge business, but it's still one division inside Microsoft. Microsoft doesn't operate like Sony or Nintendo because Microsoft isn't Sony or Nintendo. Those companies exist primarily to serve their gaming ecosystems. Microsoft's gaming ecosystem exists inside a much larger company. So no, "case by case" isn't mixed messaging to me. It's literally them saying they're going to evaluate each game, studio, audience, contract, and business case individually instead of forcing every title into the same box.

  @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.

  @DPermabear @PiggyKropotkinn It’s literally top 10 live service game. You don’t just stop Fortnight, FF14, Wow, Elder Scrolls, warframe, Rivals, Genshin, Rocket League etc. Sony is rtarded they bought what they wanted to end it smh

  You know what ******* choice I got? To not play that ****. To leave Sony and get a ******* Xbox, they still sale CDs for you disc jockeys. Everything else is based off what if.. What if they close the servers? Then you can’t play anyway. What if I wanna play 10 years later? Why would you wanna do that? Gaming is far evolved from that, that’s why GTA is so special. It’s one of the only games that run that long these days. ****** still playing on they same elder scrolls accounts from ******* high school bro Same COD account since high school. Your preference for a CD is to merely own what you paid for and you have every right .. But they’ve made gaming an experience, you experience this **** till we either shut it down or make a new title. I don’t see what the issue is when you’re not currently playing anything right now more than a year old thats not GTA. Make it make sense

  @LouisV1099 @PostUp_SOG It can work if they make Helix cheap. And make Elder scrolls, Halo, Gears, Forza, crash bandicoot, Spyro, Overwatch single player game at a consistent pace. Sony can’t match that volume.

  @TESOnline so instead of improving the daily login, you put a ******* battle pass. the grind is unreal. if wanted that much grinding i would go to a ********** and i hate strip clubs. your events have gone so lame is hilarious and the rewards are pathetic.

  @_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..

  Roberto Fa Studios (@mrfarruggio) reported 32 minutes ago

  @IGN if the game doesn't need a hd and a disc to load so any lag or loading isn't the issue, it could be good, but if it's exclusively online then not too good. nintendo and sony may have revealed the extinction of compact discs and it's worrying me because it overlaps with films and music. is it all transitioning to digital? maybe the game has an algorithm built in now that updates with elder scrolls, gta, fable, or any mmorpg? the physical disc is the original game so it's part of making sure the original game loads, right? @Twitch has revealed video games vary depending on where you buy them... maybe the future of video games has an algorithm now? this will piss people off, people have tested algorithms online for awhile and i don't think they like it. with algorithm operators steering a choose-your-own-adventure style fable? elder scrolls? final fantasy? detroit: become human might go sentient in the next one? or any mmorpgs are now all within the realm of blade runner? all video games going cyberpunk might be glitchy...

  @gamer5695 @charlieINTEL The 2.0 didn't help them it was still crap, the engine isn't even the problem with Bethesda it's the devs and Todd Howard they don't know how to make good games anymore. I wouldn't be surprised if elder scrolls 6 is a MMO and they continue with the slop.

  You know, I don’t understand this weird narrative that Xbox went for “cheap” wins. Fixing the easy-to-fix complaints from people on your platform is somehow a bad thing? I’ve been on this app for many years and listen to gaming news and podcasts all the time. They say they need to push out Fallout and Elder Scrolls. They say game budgets need to be reduced. They say Xbox should bring back exclusive content because it matters. They say Xbox makes too many AA-level games and needs more AAA bangers. Most of this was before COVID, but even after, the gaming industry as a whole was called overblown. All I’m really trying to say is a lot of you annoy me with the double speak of what you want versus what you think will get you engagement, and it makes a lot of you unhappy.

  @asobercannibal @LRSerling 💯 my issue. Not just this, but the writing in the game as a whole. Just felt like there was so much more that could have been explored but they either ran out of time or just weren't interested, which was shocking given how deep the elder scrolls lore goes

  @WolfBronsky @Grummz Skyrim was outdated when it came out. They are still using the same Loadscreen Engine. If Elder Scrolls 6 releases with the same issues Starfield did, the studio is as good as dead.

  @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.

  @DrFuryWolf @CultureCrave @theinformation I’m hoping it means they use one there 20+ studios to make games for each others ip’s. Why not have obsidian make a fallout, or inexile make an elder scrolls. Would be sick to see a doom from the coalition or even a halo, or ID making a cod, double fine a crash game, etc.

  Michael (@LegacyKillaHD) reported 43 minutes ago

  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.

  "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.

  @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.

  @Grummz The industry keeps acting confused while the answer is right in front of them. Fallout 76 and ESO soaked up years of time and resources while fans have been begging for a new Elder Scrolls. Most players don’t want endless live service slop, cash shops, and seasonal grinds. They want the next great RPG. Stop giving people what investors want and start giving them what gamers actually asked for.

  BRAP (@BRAP_Podcast) reported 59 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.

  @CursedTio @TESOnline DKs are so broken and over powered. They shouldn’t be able to do insane damage and tank. They clearly don’t play the game
