No satire? Guess anything on the internet is out of the question then.

Engaging or providing subjective negative reviews

What do they think a review is?! If they wanted an advertisement, buy an ad spot on Google ya cheap bastards.

Did they just want to buy the IPs? Why throw Billions at video game development, only to cut out the development part?

Microsoft argues against FTC that their merger would create jobs.

Then 180 degrees that shit because apparently Bethesda/Activision were going to eliminate those jobs anyway.

“I’ve often thought ‘I wish I could give these folks another $10 or $20 because it was worth more than my initial $70 and they didn’t try to nickel and dime me every second,’”

You know what, I could agree with that opinion if the irony wasn’t lost to folks

No. One. Would tip for a blizzard game.

1. Blizzard DOES nickel and dime you at every second. Literally.

2. Blizzard has not produced a good game since Overwatch 2.

3. Blizzard made 8.71 Billion in 2023. They can afford to pay their developers without relying on public donations.

• Kernel level anti-cheat

• Micro-transactions

• Paid character edit vouchers

Ouch, I’d be pissed too if my $70 was still not enough to buy all the character models, let alone that I would have to pay to re-customize my character. They 100% deserve this negative criticism.

I hear it has the same release schedule as Half Life 3, Knights of the old republic remake, and Road Runner vs. Acme.

At the cost of making people write their own successful stories, rather then riding on the popularity of an old franchise to sell it’s brand.

Don’t get me wrong, I would have absolutely played a KoToR with BG3 graphics.

But I would also settle for a new star wars story with BG3 graphics.

I haven’t preordered a game since fallout 76.

I have yet run across a pre-order where I have regretted it either.

Most of the time, you wait 3 months or a year for PlayStation,

• all the bugs are fixed,
• game play has been thoroughly tested by $90 beta tester whales who pay for the privilege.
• It’s on sale
• Wait long enough, even with the DLC
• If it is a good enough game, it will survive the test of time (Elden Ring), and if it doesn’t you didn’t miss anything important.

I’ll keep an ear to the ground.

But I don’t like that $90 preorder logic at all, it’s almost weird it exists.

I try to imagine going to a gamestop and a gaming associate was like, buy that game 3 days later and I’ll give you $20.

Skip the in game pet and mount, that most people forget exists after the expansion, and I’ll make that $40

But then… why does this system exist?!

Well I’ll be damned, you are right. Fuck me. Going to have to do another edit.

Not counting Microsoft deal, because they weren’t bought out until much after the ESVI announcement

With Elder Scrolls 6 development out of the concept phase and into full swing,

They just started development.

They have also learned some good lessons. However, let us dispel one notion. “Fans” did not cause the announcement 10 years before it’s development.

Looking at the history, Microsoft bought Bethesda in 2021, and Elder scrolls was announced 2018.

Which all things considered, is a three year gap.

Regardless I stand by my conclusion if for the only sake that they would have zero motivation to leak this even if it was just an idea. “Just because of fans.” No CEO thinks like that. At least, none anymore.

It was shareholders.

Gamer can wait until the day a good game comes out, a company needs hype to build it’s brand for stock holders.

Edit:

But at the time of the announcement, Bethesda wasn’t a publically traded company, they were private, were they not? Which means they weren’t overly beholden to stockholders if I’m not mistaken? I could be totally wrong on that, though.

Please go down below and congratulations to iheartneopets for pointing out the nose on my face.

Business speak apology PR might work on the average gamer.

This is businesses he tried to screwed over.

But it just goes to show that some CEOs have no idea what their product does.

I am going to take a few days and wait on it. The last game I preordered from bethesda was fallout 76, and that was a wake up call.

No one in the video game industry is beyond delivering a poor experience for tons of money.

What are you talking about? This is the same game as the previous edition. I am not even sure they changed the graphics this time.
