Or maybe focusing on DLC’s for ESO and Fallout 76 has been hurting ES6…

Stop moving over to other projects then. ESO, Fallout 4, Fallout 76, Starfield, and now ANOTHER Fallout game. Todd has completely lost the plot

Bethesda talking about layoffs like they even try to develop games anymore 💀💀 how many years has it been since their first ES6 trailer? We’re gonna get a remastered anniversary edition trailer before ES6 gets developed any further

Yeah we all know this is bs. The report said Bethesda is one of the few studios being unaffected by the lay offs and that they are going to be pressured by Xbox to preform and create some new content. Bethesda literally went from being one of the best studios to the crappiest. Literally having to be forced by Xbox to make new shit other than another crappy season of 76

Alright. Time to log away TES as a beloved classic and move on. It had its glory but it’s run is so clearly over. Time to move on from Bethesda. Let’s just hope someone picks up the mantle.

ES6, or the lack of, is one of the biggest fumbles in gaming history.

Elder scrolls is suffering because of Bethesda. Not Microsoft.

Blame Xbox all you want. This game realistically should have been done before the acquisition even happened. They made Skyrim with approximately 100 people. Morrowind with around 40. Their best games were done with a fraction of the manpower and budget they have now. I really don’t accept that Xbox has any impact on this.

Bethesda is such a lazy company. I bet they're just salty. this could go either way, either they're right or Xbox just cleaned up the rot

Alright, then give the IP to another developer. They gave the New Vegas spinoff to Obsidian, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t be able to do something similar with The Elder Scrolls. 15 years is a RIDICULOUS wait.

Xbox buying studios is just the worst thing that could happen to them. They should just release them

Well how else are executives who make millions of dollars in salary supposed to get their gigantic yearly bonuses? They’ll lose one of their yachts or private jets if these layoffs don’t happen which is way more important than getting es6 right. C’mon people have a heart

just use AI and make it in like a week... people are holding back games because they are afraid A.I is going to ruin games but they are doing that themselves.
