  Bethesda developers say layoffs became a yearly problem after Microsoft took over ZeniMax. Alex Nguyen, a Bethesda lead character artist, said layoffs were rare before the acquisition. He says employees were usually given time to fix problems, even after difficult launches like Fallout 76 and The Elder Scrolls Online. “Since we’ve been under Microsoft… we didn’t have layoffs before, and now we all of a sudden have yearly layoffs,”

  @pcgamer There is one problem and it’s that outside of the cities and some set piece locations, exploration was in cardboard procedurally-generated environments. There was zero reason to explore any of it, whereas all you want to do in Elder Scrolls and Fallout is explore.

  This has become a larger issue than just with GTA. Even when you look at The Elder Scrolls VI, people believe it's been in development for 15 years when it only entered full production in 2023 following the release of Starfield. The sad reality is all of this is so easy to Google but people remain ignorant

  One problem with games like GTA 6 and (I'm guessing) Elder Scrolls VI is that they took so long to make that the visuals are now outdated. Hopefully, they can integrate generative AI and salvage the presentation.

  @Aurelian_27 @danno_omen Well if they start holding back Day 1 games they're going to have a big subscriber drop off. CoD makes sense, it's the biggest selling game every year and is stupid expensive to produce. Removing it and lowering the price $7 was a decent trade off, but if you start removing Halo, Gears, Elder Scrolls or Fallout you're going to have backlash. Think of it this way, for every 10 subscribers that keep Game Pass Ultimate over Premium for a month, they get the same revenue as 1 sale. It's easier to sell a $23 sub than a $70 game but then if those users stay on the service, Microsoft gets that money every month no matter what other game they put out.

  @Foxhound_N10 @TESOnline They need to have a good version that's pick up and play for new players. My problem is when they force players to do it instead of the other campaigns

  Bethesda is notoriously known for relying on the community to fix their games (finish the rest of the development for the game) these developers deserve to be fired the last single player game was three years ago. “But fallout76 and elder scrolls online are mainline game”

  Nothing says “healthy industry” like an Elder Scrolls 6 demo under executive applause while a giant inflatable rat watches from outside. That rat is the more honest mascot. Xbox leadership gets the live playthrough, the talk about scale and story, the nice clean vision of the future. Outside, Bethesda workers are flying flags for people gutted by Microsoft’s 2026 layoffs and reminding everyone what that future is built on. This is the part the industry keeps trying to edit out: you do not get the prestige showcase without the labor, and you do not get to celebrate the craft while treating the people making it like a restructuring line item. The game isn’t the contradiction. The executive narrative is. If workers need an inflatable rat to make the real mood visible during your big fantasy RPG victory lap, the problem is not optics. It’s that the optics are accurate.

  @Opethftw @pcgamer Got you talking about it 9 years later. The dev team of 76 is a studio that works specifically on live service games. It’s not people in bgs that could be working on the next elder scrolls or fallout.
