Xbox CEO praises The Elder Scrolls 6 after internal playthrough

gamingAug 12, 202619590

The Elder Scrolls 6 moment landed when Xbox CEO Asha Sharma posted that she watched an internal playthrough and called the game's scale and story "incredible," even as Bethesda union protesters staged a giant inflatable rat and planted red flags outside the studio. Posts quote Sharma's tease and a running bit about secrecy around the subtitle while fans riff on a rumor that the subtitle might be eight letters long and share long‑standing fan art. Other voices concentrated on the contrast between praise for the game's apparent grandeur and the protests, using a mock dialogue meme to joke about seeing the game but not getting access to it.

Pay no attention to the rat. Instead, let me tell you how big and great Elder Scrolls 6 is. Please stop looking at the rat. Please.

“Elder Scrolls VI. At this time of year? At this time of day? In this part of the country? Localized entirely within your office building?” “Yes.” “May I see it?” “No.”

The funny thing is that the fanbase may have already figured out what its subtitle will be, helped by Michael Kirkbride himself seemingly confirming it

It seems like everyday there’s a new rumour about the Elder Scrolls 6 release date. The latest one is that the subtitle of the game will be 8 letters long… Anyway here’s some fan art I made back in 2016 👀

The reason the video game industry can get away with so many anti consumer practices is because “gamers” and gaming influencers have the memories of a lemming. Bethesda has been shit for about a decade at this point but they still get hyped over ES6 speculation. Weak shit.

Isn't this particular fella a notoriously stupid dingus or am I thinking of literally every other Bethesda influencer youtuber

Why are we more predisposed about the product, Elder Scrolls 6, than the livelihood of the people making it. Why are we concerned about licking boots and restating the words of the Microsoft PR, instead of elevating the words of the workers. We need to do better.

At this point I don't care about Elder Scrolls 6. I know it'll probably suck and it'll cost an arm and a leg but most importantly Xbox and Todd Howard needs to be put in their place and kicked like a rock
