Then went back to their true focus,
Microtransactions for Fallout76 and Elder Scrolls Online.

Just watch, they'll maintain support for those game well past when they stop updating Starfield

That’s not true, I’m sure they’ll enable raytracing in Starfield special edition in a few years and charge another $60 for the privilege.

I wonder if they'll make a smart speaker version for this one too

Look, there’s lots of valid reasons to shit on Bethesda but this comparison isn’t even fair.

ESO is literally an MMO. It’s a genre of game that’s designed to have a very long life-span with regular content releases, updates and balance changes.

Starfield is a single player Action RPG. Yes, of course they’ll probably be done adding to it before an entirely different development team that’s dedicated to an MMO is done.
