The Elder Scrolls VI Situation

[burningdoom]

When the Elder Scrolls 6 teaser released Xbox One was current Xbox console. We are now onto Xbox Series X. Not only will this game not release on Xbox One, but it's more than likely not gonna make it onto Xbox Series X, and that's just straight B.S.

We were promised something 8 whole years ago. Some of us bought hardware in anticipation for it. Now it's 8 years later and we're still be told it's years away and get...another teaser. So now we have to pay $1000+ to get in on this...in this economic climate where technology is a premium, after we already bought new hardware for the next-gen to play this vaporware?! Am I the only one frustrated by this?!!!

I'd be surprised if it doesn't release on Series X alongside whatever the new one is, because they need sales.  Xbox Series X is doing pretty bad right now and next gen console sales will likely be worse, so they'd be shooting themselves in the foot by not having the game also playable on the console with the playerbase they do have.  It'll also be on PC too.  I'm curious if they'll make it purely exclusive to Xbox though.  Do they bank on it being a system/game pass seller, or put it on PS5/PS6 and get a few more million sales there.

What's sad is I don't even care anymore. 8 years ago or so, I would have been hyped out of my mind of an ES6 trailer like the one we got last week. Now, I barely even noticed. I've lost all faith in Bethesda as a game studio. Just like Bioware, a lot of the people that made the studio the powerhouse it once was are all gone mostly. Of course, the overpaid car salesman Todd Howard is still there, but the man is so full of shit I pretty much don't believe a word that comes out of his mouth. I hope I'm proven wrong, but my gut tells me ES6 won't even register as a tenth as significant or given even close to the same praise as Skyrim or Oblivion.
