  Elder Scrolls 6 will be and will remain in a permanent broken state just like Oblivion Remastered. Modders don't have time, ressources and willingness to fix this 💩 @Bethesda just doesn't care about their games and customers

  "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.

  @K__Med Here's my expert analysis. Smaller studios were purchased to pad content prior to Zennimax and ABK. Phil gave those studios a lot of rope, because they needed content. The problem is, they were given too much autonomy, probably because of the praise Xbox for the handling of Mojang. Covid delays aside, when all you had to launch from first party in 2022 was Pentiment, it kind of shows how desperate they were. Now that they have AAA output and top tier IP, the overhead from these smaller studios is sucking resources with little to no ROI. I loved South of Midnight, but running that studio for 7 years of development is a drain. To be fair, it probably was a hindrance for the studios as well, because it allowed them to take their time and slow down production, since their budgets weren't a issue with MS backing. When you have big system seller IP like Fallout and Elder Scrolls, you don't need to worry about smaller projects unfortunately. That's why ABK used Raven and Toys for Bob as COD support. I think Asha is seeing that they can get great GamePass content from small 3rd party studios, and not take on the liability of running them. Expedition 33 and Palworld exceeded anything they could do in house, and when something like Flinklock fails, it can easily be overlooked. They are running into an issue where they have too much content, and these smaller titles would not move the needle for console sales or subscriptions. It's sad, but I understand the business side of it. I kind of wish that Xbox just spun off the little guys as their own "indie" style division to work on smaller quirky titles with smaller budgets and quicker turnaround, but something like that would take time, that I'm not sure they have.

  @nuhre_ There are a lot of veteran game devs who demand high salaries and many AAA studios are built in expensive cities to attract talent, requiring higher salaries all around. All of this is multiplied by games taking 7 years now instead of 18 months (the real problem right now). I get wanting to avoid insane Halo 2 levels of crunch, but there has to be a middle ground. KOTOR 2 was made in 14 months. Double that to give more breathing room and you still have a high quality game in less than 3 years. I mean seriously, Elder Scrolls 6 could have been Skyrim with slightly better graphics and a new setting. We should be waiting for ES9 right now. Instead it’s been 15 years…. TLDR: AAA game dev is collapsing because of ridiculous dev times that cause salaries per game to become completely unsustainable.

  @IsXBOXStillLast @M0NKEYCAN Maybe, maybe not. Imagine if, within a two-year window, the next Doom, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, Tony Hawk, Crash Bandicoot, The Evil Within, Dishonored, Wolfenstein, Killer Instinct, and Diablo all released but didn’t come to PlayStation—do you think that would have no impact?

  @CGRuby_VT I always say a similar thing about The Elder Scrolls. They are poorly made games with great ideas. The fact that the first mods for them are massive bug fix patches and UI upgrades says a lot about how poorly made they are.

  @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.

  @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

  @Genie_93 @BBCNews If Elden Ring’s servers turn off, it’s playable. ARC Raiders is useless if the server turns off. The monsters are designed to be beaten by teams unless you want to grind for some reason. There’s also special events. Most live service is the second bucket. How many people actually play the same game for years if it’s not a social game with a community? ie world of Warcraft vs elder scrolls.

  @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.

  @klobrille I think he means that all already existing multi-player live service games like fallout 76, Elder scrolls online, sea of thieves, cod, etc. Will continue to be multi plat but not the next halo, gears, forza etc. Yes I know fh6 is going to ps, im talking about the next one.

  @stormfall33 PlayStation’s issues seem easy to point out. For Xbox, though, it feels like it needed tough leadership that mandated specific titles. The idea of buying the Elder Scrolls and Fallout IP and over the course of 5 years doing nothing with it is insane.
