Is ZOS going to buy me a gaming PC in your little scenario, too?

I highly doubt that, but this would be good for majority. In the end it would be a business decision, and not many players on those platforms, and PC population has grown immensily.

Don’t know what platform u are playing on lmfao PS4 Eu has loads of players all 3 alliances spend all there time during evening poplocked got to que to get in and during mid year event we are talking que up to 500 players that just for dc so I really got no idea what you are talking about lmao 😂

If I had a gaming PC, my time and money wouldn't be going to ESO. There's a much larger selection of MMOs out there for that platform.

As a console player I'm limited. I've tried most of the ones available and can tell you that ESO is the best that console has to offer (Xbox at least).

If they got rid of ESO on consoles, they could shove my account where it's dark and foul-smelling.

Well, Im playing ESO on PC and imo its best MMO gamewise and community wise (not counting the issues I first mentioned), if you like the genre being "realistic" rather than Tera/WoW style. Its kind of bummer if you play it on console only because theres no better ones though. In that case you would be disappointed with most other MMO:s I can tell you that.

I mean, I can't think of a more ridiculous, selfish thread in a long time.

It's a very entertaining troll.

True.

I have a high end PC and ESO account as well as a PS4.
Guess what I have more fun on the PS4 because of friends and it just works.

You are misinformed about populations on the platforms.

There is a huge XBOX NA community so no. I would say there are more console players than PC.

Gave up my PC long ago and switched to console so again no thank you to your idea.

I think the only thing I’d add to the FFXIV vs. ESO discussion is that one was developed with a last generation console in mind (PS3) and has significantly less going on under the hood than ESO. I really admire FFXIV’s infrastructure, art design and social tools, even if I find the game a bit slow for my tastes.

I'd be sad as I have no PC

I've played dozens of MMOs over the years starting back in the late 1990s when I did play on PC. In that time there have been better ones and worse ones than ESO and I'm betting that still stands true.

Just no better ones on Xbox in my opinion though.

ESO is been well known for having the worst ability to fix things or develop things in general (example : same mount models with recolor=boom new mount). We know it is because of lack of resources at ZoS:s end. Well now I have a solution for that. End updates on PS and XBOX. Offer those people free character transfer to PC (yes I know theres no mechanism now, heres how you do it: download all character data, and upload back on PC server character template). Sort the licence things out with Steam. The cost of that is miniscule compared to cost of upkeeping such big enviroment.

This will bring better game experience for 90% of population.

Black Desert runs fine on my console, and I have the regular xbox one. You are assuming they do not have the resources, it just comes down to cheaping out and selling out the actual fans. I am pretty sure most xbox players getting a gaming pc are not gonna pick eso lmao. As it stands Zenimax got greedy and did a *** poor console port.

What?? Lack of resources?? I can create 5 new 3d mount models in 2 hours....
Lack of resources pffff...

Besides computers are really cheap nowadays and you can do other things also with them

Buy me one so

Really? This is just some absolute "pc master race" crap and i hope your fedora doesnt cut any more circulation to your brain.

Your “cost savings” would be eclipsed by the volume of customers who would just leave and the net loss would probably just end the game for you.

Sure,

I'd love to see it on PC so long as it has a native Linux client of course as I'd never consider spending money there on anything which requires me having to faff around and still not be supported.

Its not a voting issue where comes what. But best solution for 90% as I said. You can play ESO on Linux now besides with Volcan or?

I dont mean performance issues in this (ofc they are issues too), but lack of bug fixing, and more wide development

Sure I could but its a matter of principle for me now. Steam allows me to play almost all my Windows back catalogue with Proton and very well. I'm thankful for that and can enjoy some old favourites and I do.

But... I will no longer pay for a game to be a third class citizen. If a developer wants my money then they provide on my platform of choice, if not I don't get to enjoy their game (they don't care) and they don't get my money (they might care slightly).

MMOs make a good example such as I drop a six month sub on a game because it works with Proton, a month in the developer makes changes to the client which means it dies horribly when run under Proton. Their response to me would be tough, use Windows as thats the only thing we support. From their perspective its a reasonable thing, they've never said it runs on anything besides Windows. For me it sucks, 5 months of subs gone.

This kind of thing happens which is why I now take the stance I do.

Seriously? I'm in a mates guild of about 20 and 1 has a gaming PC. This is a terrible idea. I for one wouldn't switch, too much doubt on PC of CE / macros / Rig differences / battle of the add ons etc etc

I'm unsure why folks keep thinking they have better business strategy plans than ZOS they are already doing the most profitable thing for them, have no fear!!!!!

SoLooney

If there were free platform transfers, the console community will diminish real quick

Theres almost no reason to stay on console unless you dont have the money for a decent pc

Who is gonna say no to frames, add ons, pts, and priority from updates?
