How Long Will ESO Survive? (last) (Solved in Comment 12)

Serjustin19

If I remember correctly, Destiny is like 10 year contract. However destiny keeps changing. So in other words, destiny would have 10 different games or less? But for ESO, new games are built in, just like Destiny (save for destiny would have different discs and or different download versions to). But have to pay to unlock just like destiny. The new ESO games is considered as one with the franchise. In forms of Chapters. If ESO is a contract, what would happen to the servers; when contract is no more? (if ESO has contract.) so what is the total life support for ESO? Would ESO surpass destiny? Or would Bungee renew the 10 year contract and surpass ESO?

What?

Not really sure what you're trying to say but ESO will survive as long as it's profitable. Could be 10 more years or 10 more days. Nobody knows.

I think 2019 will be the last year of ESO. Maybe It will stay little longer as decaying zombie.

The company that created Destiny (Bungie) is a seperate company to Destiny’s publisher Activision. This is why you hear talk of them having a contract to produce x amount of content over a certain period of time.

In the case of ESO, both the studio that creates it (Zenimax Online Studios) and the publisher (Bethesda Softworks), are Subsidiaries of their parent company, Zenimax Media. Therefor they have a different business relationship, which I doubt requires such a contract.

So ESO will likely be around for as long as Zenimax Media consider it financially beneficial to keep producing content and supporting it.

Given that the next Elder Scrolls game is still a few years off, I would guess ESO has a good chance of making it to 10 years.

I wish i knew unfortunately i dropped my crystal ball recently

Joking aside i am curious what you mean with destiny has contract for 10 years, contract with who?
Not sure what ESO has to do with destiny are they somehow linked apart from both being videogames?

It will last until it end.
The server will be turned off and most likely most of us will have gone onto the new and better version.
No point in worrying about this. Everyhting ends at some point.

I think it will be in perfect state at least until 2022.

Sheogorath says that ESO's days are as limited as the amount of cheese found within Tamriel.

I suggest hunting down all the cheese in Tamriel and then you will have your answer.

Good luck and happy hunting.

In 2006 gamers thought $3.00 skins were absurd. I think they will manage lol.

No way, if that were the case, they would not be making new content for the game anymore. It would be purely maintenance at this point if the game only had a year left. If 2019 was the last year, they would already know, and would definitely not be pushing any major content additions.

Until the entire map gets filled.

Hi, thank you this makes perfect sense for me. Good chance I be not playing eso for very long time, say 6 yrs. I really want to voice over to, like my previous post. I however maybe my future military career in not end after all. I was reading so many things. I assumed I won't get a waiver. But I haven't talked recruiter yet. So I wouldn't know for sure if I will or will not get waiver. Without me asking. I want to join this November.

But I'm not 100% if I not get waiver and other not... But I'm taking this time to be prepared, in case I do get waiver. Hence why I asked if eso would continue be here when I'll be back playing (if get accepted. I so very much love eso and having fun (getting chewed out by others on same faction in cyrodiil to) It's just my future is confusing, but my dreams (sleeping) are not. I also really hope ESO will outlast destiny no offense. I came back destiny. But couldn't stay even for half a day. Lol. But your quote has solved what I was asking. (I can still practice voice acting to)

@ZOS

(I'll erase name when I remember tonight hopefully)

Please mark this as solved. (I don't know how to make check marks. I keep seeing them) also forgive me I'm expressing my future of trying explain why I wrote this post. Of why I asked. Many thanks

We will be seeing expansions for the next seven to eight years at least.


So to all those "special" folks who continually rub their hand together in anticipation of fail

It's not going to happen any time soon, so chill out and open a few dozen crown crates.

:-P

as others have said... as long as it is profitable.

@Serjustin19 In order to mark it resolved, you would have needed to open this as a question thread not a discussion thread. For future reference, that's accomplished by clicking the dropdown arrow on the "New Discussion" button and selecting the relevant option, similar to how you would start a poll.
