These guys had/have a perfect Single player franchise and they have the balls to go ahead and enter the MMO world.
Their single player games are garantueed successes due to the huge fanbase, but with the marketing and the hype done on skyrim TES became HUGE and ofcourse.they went for it!

They saw an opportunity and are releasing a TES MMO which brings alot of risks and could possibly be the one bad mark on the elder scrolls franchise!
I respect them for taking that risk, it could have HUGE benefits, even making them the new #1 online game, or it even being the start of a new MMO era!

What are your thoughts?

*edit* actually n/m.

I'm glad that ZeniMax Media had enough sense to create a separate company (ZeniMax Online Studios) to make the MMO while leaving Bethesda Game Studios free to work on the single player games. Smartest move ever.

I agree! They deserve respect, but I think they need our help to be kept on track and not make it too MMO. We still want our RP!
But I am very thankful for them trying to make the game and have the guts to do it: the potential is huge!

Thank you, Zenimax!

I've always had massive respect for the TES devs.

I'm pleased they're up for this, risk or not, it's something people have been wanting for quite a long time. Good luck to them in getting it right

you respect someone for taking risk? those are basics of capitalism ( wheres need you fill it ) and it is pretty much obvious and safe movement after Skyrim: it will generate profits, bigger or smaller, but it definately will.

they actually started the ESO project before skyrim. i bet that the game at launch will sell at least 3 milion copies in the first 48h.

I still have no idea if my laptop can run it. I'm going to say it can't.
