You're definitely not the only one who feels like this. In addition to the title reveal for TES6, we recently got the announcement that both Bethesda and Obsidian are working on new Fallout games. Six years ago, I would have been over the moon about all of this. I'd have bought a 9th gen console a lot sooner. Now, however, I couldn't care less. They took too long to make this stuff. Fallout 4 came out in 2015, New Vegas in 2010, Skyrim in 2011. If they're just starting work on the two Fallout games, they're still at least 5-8 years off. TES6 is still probably in the 2028-2030 time frame for release. That means the gap between TES games will be 17-19 years, the gap between Bethesda Fallouts will be 16-19 years, and the gap between Obsidian Fallouts will be 21-24 years. People who weren't even conceived on the release dates of the last games will be legal adults aound the time the sequels get here. That kind of dev cycle isn't only insane, it's unsustainable. 7th and 8th gen games getting sequels in the 10th gen. Sorry, but life is too short to wait for these big companies to squeeze out a dump. If that dev cycle continues, I'll be around 60 by the time TES7 comes out, and I have better things to do with my time than wait that long for a game. "B-but it's gonna be a generational release!" Yeah, I remember when devs used to churn out what people these days call a "generational release" every year or two.
