And I doubt the studio will see the end of this decade under Microshit‘s umbrella. Nonetheless I applaud the employees. Their success might be short lived but it‘s a success all the same.
5.5 years? No way they'll shut down this quickly. The next Elder Scrolls alone will carry them into 2030. (As much as I would enjoy you being right though...)
You assume TES6 isnt going to be pure trash like FO76 and starfield but... um.... I dont share that same outlook. If anything TES6 will be the final nail in the coffin when the masses get their hands on it and see the buggy outdated mess they get.
I didn't say that.
I expect it to be about as awful as Starfield. However, unlike Starfield (which didn't sell horrendously by any source I can find, just not great) it has incredible brand recognition behind it. I have no doubts it will sell based on that alone as long as it looks like Skyrim 2 at first glance.
Edit: right after posting I figured out how to formulate what else I wanted to say but couldn't find the correct words for: "Sadly profitability and quality don't always correlate."
neither of those games are pure trash. unless all you ever play is 10/10 masterpieces and nothing worse than that
Might be just enough for another remaster of Sykrim.
If starfield is anything to go by, the new elder scrolls might be a step back from modded skyrim.
Or Microsoft will just close the studio and outsource the IP. It's how Bethesda got Fallout.
