Hear me out, Bethesda hasn't made a really successful game since Skyrim. their new overlords are more than happy to shuffle them around, and who's to say Todd Howard won't retire after TES6 is launched?

I'm seeing a lot of parallels to Bioware, with game after game not doing as hot as the previous ones, and XBOX being very trigger happy with axing studios that aren't pulling their weight, similar to EA.

It's possible TES6, if it releases, will be the make it or break it of the company.

Not any time soon, simply because TES6 is too far along in development to pull the plug, costs have already been sunk. And it's impossible to predict the future after TES6 because that entirely depends on how well the game does.

Its going to move numbers. Serious numbers. No matter how good or bad it is. Its right behind GTA and COD in terms of guaranteed success.

I already know my reaction when it comes out. Really happy we have new TES. Really enjoy making character. Get overwhelmed by overworld and scared off most of the experience. Be disappointed that it wasnt better. Play it on and off for a whole decade anyway. (This entire list remains true if its an ET-level turd or the unquestionable game of the century)
