  @lastchalice Frankly I think its going to tank their studio. Whether it sells or not is irrelevant; the time it took, the costs, the issues, etc. Its GG. Further Hammerfell is a bad place to set it now with the ongoing real world discourse, if they wanted Hammerfell it should have released in 2021-2023. Now it will come off as developer tokenism and DEI. And to be real, looking at the developers out protesting, yea, it does look like that. Which means we are getting The Elder Scrolls: Starfield Edition. And I definitely don't think the team has the ability to make it as modular as Skyrim, which is the real reason the game is still a dominant force in its player base, from SteamDB; Skyrim SE: 39,382 players as of typing. Oblivion Remaster: 2,464 players as of typing. Starfield: 6,446 players as of typing.

  @AgentOink You can have loading screens without necessarily breaking the immersion. Starfield did not achieved that and made the loading screens „problem“ more obvious than a Fallout or Elder Scrolls.

  @InfoXbox_ The problem is that the last elder scrolls game came out 15 years ago and fallout 4 came out over 10 years ago. They weren't working on **** and think that just cuz they've been there for years, they're immune to layoffs.

  @Pirat_Nation I've been playing Skyrim with mods for years and it's amazing. Bethesda should have hired modders for The Elder Scrolls VI, probably going to be a piece of crap like Starfield that modders will have to fix.

  Gotta test everything, I used to use the side sliding function to glitch my way over walls in a bunch of games. Worked in a bunch of places in Elden ring, they didn't play test that game very well. This worked, and I found places I could glitch through walls as well. In Elder Scrolls Morrowind, you could glitch through the door to the final boss and beat him without doing the quests. Just had to wiggle through the corner of the locked door. Everquest, you could take a shrink potion, sit next to a door, log out, and when you logged back in, the potion effect would drop, and you would just pop up on the other side. Do my best to try and break everything I do, I do to games what @TheSpiffingBrit does to them, I just don't make videos about it. "I also don't have a sweet accent"

  @TESOnline How about fixing the exploits and glitches ruining PvP? You are losing players. I know it’s an old game but you still want your money every month on time. It’s impossible to fight a group of cheaters using the armory glitch to acquire every mundus stone in the game. Shame

  @k1llegal_ I’ve been an Xbox fan first for the majority of my life. They screwed up too many times (with the last straw being 2024’s multiplatform strategy) and for the most part lost me. All of Xbox’s issues come from their own baffling mistakes. They’ve earned the criticism. Having said that, I own all of the systems and will be buying Gears E-Day on my Series X. I’m not a platform warrior. I’m a consumer who cares about the games. Xbox has every right to make Elder Scrolls exclusive because they own it, but I think it would be a ****** thing to do to take it away from Sony and Nintendo who have had those games for up to 20 years. No one has ever had Insomniacs Spiderman and Wolverine besides PlayStation, and as an internal first party studio no one should. Though, if they came to Xbox why should I care? More people get to play them, though I think it would be a terrible business decision, much like Xbox’s push away from exclusives over the last few years.

  @Colteastwood well, besides being an ethical issue, its also about keeping your word i sold my Xbox because Microsoft promised to go multi, that everything would be a Xbox now they have a moral obligation to put Elder Scrolls 6 on PlayStation, because people believed them

  Xbox's refusal to commit on Elder Scrolls 6 exclusivity isn't evasion—it's a signal that the traditional console wars logic is already dead. The "family of devices" framing is the tell. Microsoft isn't building a next-gen console anymore. It's building a platform stack: high-end hardware for 4K gaming, mid-tier boxes for Game Pass streaming, mobile integration, cloud fallback. That architectural shift means exclusivity clauses become liabilities, not assets. Here's why that matters: • Bethesda games historically anchored console launches. Elder Scrolls 4 (Oblivion) moved 360 units in 2006. That halo effect—exclusive marquee title—justified the hardware bet. But if your bet is on subscription and service, not hardware sales, exclusivity shrinks the addressable market. • Game Pass economics flip the incentive. A $70 single-player RPG sells copies. The same game on Game Pass day-one needs massive install-base growth to offset upfront cost. That only happens if you're pulling players from competing ecosystems, not gatekeeping from them. • PlayStation's installed base is too large to ignore. If Elder Scrolls 6 ships in 2027-2028, PS5 Pro owners will have 200M players deep. Microsoft's internal math almost certainly says: exclusive launch loses $500M+ in subscription revenue vs. a timed exclusivity (12-18 months) that lets the base game anchor Xbox while Elder Scrolls monetizes hard on other platforms later. The hesitation to announce non-exclusivity isn't indecision. It's the space between what corporate strategy demands (multiplatform) and what marketing still wants to promise (Xbox supremacy). That gap closes when the first major AAA title ships on both. Forward: Watch whether Starfield 2 (if announced) or Avowed get the same "we'll see" treatment. If yes, the console exclusive is formally deprecated. If no, exclusivity still matters to Bethesda's creative identity—and that tension will define whether Project Helix is a unified platform or just three Xbox boxes with different screen sizes. #Xbox #ProjectHelix #ElderScrolls6

  @SynthPotato the issues with Starfield and Creation Engine was that *everything* was treated the same way interior spaces are treated in Fallout and Elder Scrolls. I have way less of an issue with loading screens when theres a full open map to walk around in between.
