  @AnimateZed Nobody cares about ESO man just like nobody cares about Fallout 76. Live service slop and it’s a main reason neither elder scrolls or fallout has gotten a main line game in what over a decade. Todd told Microsoft 2 generations ago when they bought out Bethesda NEW ELDER SCROLLS

  @kiwitalkz "At this point, Elder Scrolls 6 might as well be the next Half-Life 3, a myth." It already was... that's part of the problem. 15 years since the last mainline Elder Scrolls game release, 8 years since the announcement teaser... So many rereleases of the same games...

  @TESOnline Somehow, you’ve got to fix that first quest because we’ve got bought account spamming the button making it so that nobody can get in or you’ve got people being impatient going in and out blocking other people from going in being toxic like no other

  @GrassTroll @xaviersonline_ Skyrim at least had a pretty decent world to help make up for its issues. Still far from the best elder scrolls game, but I do still prefer it more than fallout 4. Althouugh I will probably never play it again anyway. As after you've explored the world, the only reason the game became worth owning was for mods. But even that gets boring after a while.

  “From hype to chaos 🎮🔥” @grok @TESOnline #ESO #ESO_JP #ESOFam “What’s happening with @TESOnline is a real shame, but it’s their own fault. I remember when I first started playing, I already had Morrowind, Summerset, Elsweyr, Greymoor, and Blackwood thanks to my father who bought them for me. Then came High Isle (2022) — I saved like crazy to get it. Necrom (2023) — I sold three Nintendo Switch games to afford it. And then my favorite arrived: Gold Road (2024), which I bought without any problems. I always looked forward with great joy to see what was coming each year. But then those damn developers changed everything: useless subclasses, they took away content, and once again kept patching to fix their own nonsense. In the end, it’s truly a pity.”

  @HazzadorGamin I saw a post from George Broussard from 3D Realms/Apogee that layoffs at Zenimax have already started and that any studio not working on Elder Scrolls or Fallout are out. God I hope that's NOT true!!!

  @Grim_Dutch @RedDeadDovah @TESOnline And you think fewer people working on the game is going to fix those things? If anything it's going to make those problems worse

  is Elder Scrolls Online down for anyone else? I keep getting an error code.

  maddy catgirlprostate (@catgirlprostate) reported 22 minutes ago

  The real issue isn't the 15 year wait between game releases, it's the fact that the elder scrolls 6 got announced 8 ******* years ago and is supposedly still 3+ years away Like they didn't have to show the damn PNG if they knew they weren't even gonna start for years

  meh (@LAmeh87) reported 22 minutes ago

  tent pole series games and in between those releases pump out new Crash, Spyro, Tony Hawk, and so on level games. Games that will be done well received and sell well but aren't going to be nearly as expensive to make as a Fallout or Elder Scrolls. I think that while layoffs are

  KingFanMan Bethesda (@KingFanMan) reported 23 minutes ago

  @TKsMantis The is no doubt been complete mismanagement of their two biggest games. How do you go over 10 years without even working on a single player Fallout or Elder Scrolls? Only problem, the ones who made that decision are still there.

  @MMORPGcom @TESOnline Im not returning ever if they dont fix the super boring combat.

  @NebsGoodTakes It’s funny to me how Bethesda tried the live service thing with Elder Scrolls, it didn’t work, and they still thought it was a good idea to do with Fallout.

  Alex Walason (@AlexWalason) reported 27 minutes ago

  I'm extremely disappointed in the amount of people not only overlooking these layoffs, but also wishing others got fired (Todd, Emil, etc.) you people are ******* monsters and should be ashamed of yourselves. Some of these YouTubers need to get ahold of their audiences lack of a heart and start wondering why they have such hatred for other people. I do blame certain YouTubers (not all are bad) for the vitriol we are seeing. Stop attacking Todd Howard and acting like he's the problem Btw, they fired a quest designer from The Elder Scrolls VI. One that worked on Fallout London. How is this supposed to get these games out quicker? Look, we can all still be super excited for these games and that Microsoft is gonna focus on them while also acknowledging how ****** the layoffs are. The Elder Scrolls VI is my most anticipated game ever, and I can't wait for Obsidians new Fallout, but that doesn't change the fact of what's happening.

  @GeraltofGoonia The only problem is no one is making games good anymore. Elder scrolls 6 is guaranteed to be bad.

  Daisy's ***** | 🇺🇦🇵🇸🙏 (@peenSLly) reported 29 minutes ago

  @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

  @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.

  BabaGod (@BabaGodBanger) reported 33 minutes 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

  McBee (@McBeeHS) reported 40 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.

  @TESOnline Please fix it so people can actually get in the dam gate.

  Snaga (@Haunted_Hated) reported 45 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.

  @TESOnline Fix the first gate you ****** clowns. How do you **** something up so badly despite another perfectly working example exists in the ****** tutorial in coldharbour!!!

  Michael (@LegacyKillaHD) reported 53 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.

  @grlicking @MMORPGcom @TESOnline Im amazed that you cant comprehend if lore writers and game devs are working on an elder scrolls mmo then they are indeed not working on es6

  Jay (@JayHob) reported 55 minutes ago

  @LukeDutchh Totally agree. £100 for GTA6 or Elder Scrolls 6 is fair. Problem is EA etc will see this and start charging £100 for FC/2K etc 😩

  recon (@longshotrecon) reported 55 minutes ago

  @TheKingerdYT I agree, we need quality over quantity. Bethesda should have been further along with The Elder Scrolls VI by now, and a new mainline Fallout game should feel more imminent. Instead, resources went toward supporting live service titles like Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Online for years while the big single player RPGs that define the studio took a backseat. The hardcore players who stick with those live service games keep them running, but they don’t move consoles or create the same cultural moment that a big Elder Scrolls or Fallout release does. I do feel bad for the people who got laid off plenty of talented developers got caught up in this. But spreading the studio too thin across too many projects clearly wasn’t working. Hopefully this reset forces a sharper focus on the core franchises so the next big games actually land with real impact.
