I agree with the overall sentiment
. It's a business transaction, but there's more to it than that for a hobby like playing an MMORPG extensively. I have a hunch we'll be hearing something next week regarding the Imperial City and overall battle plan, but that is purely speculation on my part.
That's the problem with this new wave of B2P/F2P MMOs and cash stores. They aren't built for longevity, or community, or any of the things that I enjoyed about MMOs. Now they are all about getting people hooked for a few months, spending some money in the cash store, and then moving on. There's nothing to keep people around, because most of the game is just a hollow shell based around the cash shop.Daggerfall Covenant

But they WOULD stop and put their flaming pitchforks down to buy the bags, enhanced character creation options, extra chatacter slots, offspring slots, torches, mount buffs, mount costumes, etc... that I would push to get into the crown store.... then they'd pick their flaming pitchforks up and continue pursuit.

✭✭Saying that Paul Sage and Nick Koncle left Zenimax because ESO is a sinking ship sound shortsighted to me.
You dont know what the reason was, there are more things to take in consideration than just the status of the game. I can understand if someone changes jobs because he wants to take a different direction in his career for example.PC - EU (AD)SpoilerSeptimus Mezar - Altmer Sorcerer

Well a lot can speculate on why they left, but more can say why they left, but a very few know the real reason they left.

Exactly. Some people cannot stay in one place. They come in, do great work, but get bored and need to move to something else after a while. I find this property in leaders more than followers.0 -

You used the words "great work" in a thread about Paul Sage.

So everyone complains about not getting new content and then when two main pieces leave and they complain because they left?
Is this not a GOOD thing? Could things be going down the drain? Sure.... but that is more short-sited with all the money to be made on the consoles.
Companies work on the premise of invest $X and get $X+Y%, there is a lot of money that can be made with consoles as we move forward. Put all new content on DLC and start the release cycle in November in time for the Christmas lists to come out.0 -

But couldn't they end up losing money if a lot of console players get refunds for the game? Or when GameSpot are telling customers game is not ready and to look for something else? Also on consoles one thing I have learned word of month moves mountains good and bad!“The greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance, it is the illusion of knowledge.”

I don't think so either. They are very, very good at concepts, but when it comes to actually implementing them they either have no idea how, or realize how overwhelming it would be.
All of that talk about spellcrafting, Justice PvP, removing VR ranks.... I don't plan on seeing any of that.Edited by Sallington on 29 June 2015 14:07Daggerfall Covenant

ZOS_GinaBrunoCommunity ManagerWe can confirm that Paul left ZOS after the launch of ESOTU on console. He, along with rest of the team, are very happy with how the game is doing and we wish him the best in his future endeavors. ESOTU continues to be in great hands with Game Director, Matt Firor and new Creative Director, Rich Lambert, overseeing development. Previously, Rich oversaw all content in the game as Lead Content Designer and worked on The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. We’re very excited to have him take on the role as Creative Director!
