They have to realize that the more content they add the messier the game gets unless they look into the old codes and fix them.
Never. You are dealing with a company that just does not care about anything except shatting out content. Thats it. You can play 10 other games that run amazing but this game never will. And every time they do this it just gets worse and never recovers because they dont care. This games performance has been on a downward spiral since one tamriel. Maybe even before. Terrible terrible terrible.
Edit* Almost forgot, they care 1000 times less about cyrodil.
@ZOS_GinaBruno is this healthy? for game performance to never get better, to literally always get worse with every update?
I would rather skip some DLCs and focus on some performance, balance and QoL improvements. Honestly who care if we miss 2 dungeons and 1 trial 1 year if they can finally patch the game properly. Oh I know the investors care and they are probably pushing them to release content to make money.
You hit the nail right on the head there. Everyone is bashing ZOS for the current state of the game but at the end of the day, those are real people like you and me who need to be paid for the job they do. A patch improving performance, fixing bugs, providing QoL improvements doesn't bring in the same amount of money as excessively advertised new content, which can bring in new players or tips the old players into getting back into the game.
Old players leaving will always tend to be less than new players coming in. A new player is also more likely to spend real money in crown store, than one who's already got most of the stuff.
Keeping players in a game that's buy to play and not subscription based isn't a priority in this business model. It's attracting the news players that keeps the money rolling in. Sad reality but a reality nonetheless that it's better to bring 100 news players that will play a month and give up, than keep 10 players sticking by the game since release.
