Serious question, and maybe someone clever can actually answer: I've often speculated why companies like Bethesda and Rockstar are so damn long to make new games in their most popular franchises.
There has to be some middle ground from Fifa/Call of Duty releases to Elder Scrolls. Knowing how wildly succesful these games are, why not have a team working on one Elder Scrolls game, and a couple more working on more releases down the line? Same with GTA etc.

Was really looking forward to this, hoping it was good. But not even a token discount or break for owners of older versions? I guess that would be most of their audience by this point, but still, a bit much. EDIT: GreenMan has it for 8 bucks less than full, so there's that if you don't have patience for a sale.
Just get Gamepass and play it. Much cheaper.

What a strange list.
Skyrim but not any of the previous entries?
Where is Civilization? Quake? Command & Conquer (or Starcraft if you feel that way). An odd list.

It's only evil if it's Ubi, EA, Microsoft etc. 
Beloved developers can crunch away. Except CD Project... But that was only because Cyberpunk was buggy at the beginning. If it would have been a masterpiece from day 0, they'd have gotten zero pushback for crunch.

Should be more worried about someone buying Valve and making it a subscription service to retain access to your library. #remindmein10years

Hey, these folks got kids to put through college. They're not done until they got their degrees! lol
And grandkids...
It's Ark with cute Pokemon-ish creatures and more Minecraft elements. Wide appeal for casuals!
Critical success and commercial success are quite different most of the time, unfortunately.

The Prince of Persia Sands of Time series was quite brilliant. What happened?

Anyone wanting to play this, I recommend Gamepass. It's on there, preloaded already.
Much cheaper.

I hope we aren't chastising some of the very few Studios that make a sustained effort of further polishing or fixing their games for free ?
- Larian, enhanced games.
- CDPR, all 3 Witchers games enhanced, multiple times, CP2077 fixing even if they owed it instead of dropping it.
- Hello Games' No Man's Sky, ball out of the park here.
err ... any more out there ?
Firaxis always delivers quality eventually, be it Civilization or Xcom with updates, mod-capabilities etc.

Dammit, just get this done so I can play Diablo and WoW on Gamepass for cheaps.
Looks like this one is the best in years.
83 metacritic so far. Lots of praise.

I won't be buying it because I can only stream it from Game Pass. If Bethesda allowed their titles to be streamed from Geforce Now I'd pick it up.
I truly cannot understand how this line of thinking is logical. Whether you stream it from one or the other, what's the difference?

This guy pretty much made Elite and Frontier Elite 2 (such a massive part of my childhood) all by himself!
I am so happy he is raking in cash! Much deserved

Has there ever been a reasonable/successful port of a mobile game to PC? I mean, I am struggling to think why someone would try...
Perhaps Peggle.
I gotta say... I expect GTA to be abusive towards every race, sexuality, religion and gender. That's one of the appeals of the game, just how ridiculous it is!:D
