Maybe they should stop dedicating too much time, money, and staff to failed projects like Fallout 76 and Elder Scrolls Blades so that it doesn't take a decade to get Starfield, ESVI, and eventually FO5.
Guess what, the majority of your Bethesda customers do not care about mobile game microtransactions and no story empty online crap. If you don't think we will abandon financial support toward your company for a decade, then you are sadly mistaken. I am not paying for crappy games just to support your company and your jobs. Make a product I actually enjoy and I'll play.
Until then, my wallet is backing CD Projekt Red, probably Borderlands 3, etc.
It wouldn't have been an issue had they not initially planned SP DLC for GTAV and scrapped the idea. As far as I am concerned, that is false advertising as I expected Single Player support. Not only that but they used to give the new items to Single Player in the stores and such, then they suddenly stopped giving residual rewards to single player all together likely to push shark cards and online play so that one has to grind them longer.
CDPR is leagues better than Rockstar. Witcher was insanely long and that didn't stop them from adding Blood & Wine which was basically a full game itself and Hearts of Stone which had essentially the best villain of the game.
Rockstar thinks purely in terms of monetization and necessity. Hence their words that they didn't think it was necessary to add SP DLC... It doesn't matter if it's necessary. A huge proportion of their players are Single Player gamers. I do not go to Rockstar, Bethesda, nor CDPR for multiplayer.
If they are going to create long gaps in development to support online, then I EXPECT offline SP support rather than waiting 10+ years between titles...
@cramseyla25: Arya is a Mary Sue. An overrated twit with two years of training (much of it wasn't even combat training), now she is stalemating the top fighters, a master of all weapons, and killing the main villain of the series while she has a head injury... Mary Sues are boring.
No prince that was promised realization, no Azor Ahai subplot, nothing. It's eye candy, feminist/sjw fan service, and CGI.
@icefreze: Sub plot lol, the entire show has been built around Winter is Coming, the prince that was promised, Azor Ahai, etc. The Night King is the main villain of the show.
Arya is a Mary Sue and boring. The show hasn't had good storytelling since season 6.
Please, Please, Please focus on story, character development, and immersion. Don't make half the cast African/Middle-Eastern/East-Asian/Hispanic and LGBTQ with modern political parallels just to please the extreme left... Unless you are casting a Zerrikanian, an Ofieri, etc, then the characters need to LOOK Slavic too.
Maybe if SE just focused on making a superb FFXV and content within instead of a movie, comic, chibi version, mobile spinoff, etc, then they would actually have a product that could compete with Open World RPG giants like Bethesday/CDPR/Rockstar...
If you aren't going to do Open World right, then don't do it...
It's coming along very well, Cascadia too. There is also Fallout New York which has the base stuff done but working on filler, quests, and navmesh. Here are the links for all 3:

http://www.falloutcascadia.com/ Cascadia does tons of youtube status updates too
@nabinator: I don't care if it comes out when Fallout 6 releases, if they finish Fallout Cascadia and Fallout Miami, I'll be booting up Fallout 4 again.
Hmm because somehow zombies in various movie inspired facilities, Mars, and Viet Cong all tie into Montana religious cults... Its basically 3 minigames and not part of the game at all. Now it would be a different story if the base game were the length of something like Ground Zeroes, then I could see complaining.
I had no issue paying for Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine for Witcher 3 because the base game was incredibly long and complete.
