Do you think they will shut down TESO for PC?

Since ZOS is now completely ignoring any request for information from PC customers and are including information about PC game instability in the Console thread, does it make you worry? We already feel like a bunch of beta testers.

This was brought up and I think it's a fair discussion without bringing out the tinfoil hats. My ping today was higher than ever outside of Cyrodil and I see no mention AT ALL of plans to fix it. So it got me thinking.

    By the way your mad that ZOS talks about PC instability in "console threads".

    Well in case you didnt realize PS4 and XboxOne are DIFFERENT systems as well.

    While PC/MAC are the same PS4/X1 are not as there is three platforms for this game actually so I would be happy PC and X1 and PS4 are all being looked at for stability fixes.

    Of course not. I wish people would stop making up stupid nonsense like "ZOS lied to us over subscriptions" (they changed their mind in the light of circumstances, has no-one else ever done so?), " PC players have been beta testing for a year for consoles" (personally, I've been playing the game and have enjoyed doing so) and asking silly questions like this poll (what possible justification is there for the question? A successful console launch strengthens the future of the PC version). If you enjoy the game play it, if you don't enjoy it then move on. Enough with the silly conspiracy theories already!

    Hahaha I'm a console player. Just curious as the PC is "the master race"( no not being a smarty pants, you guys can simply play anything usually with better graphics, etc etc).

    But really......will teso be shut down on PC. What the game releases on console ( a game we had to wait a year past release date) and you expect content announced the next day and freak out when it isn't and ask if ZOS will shut down PC version???? LOL maybe master race in terms of games but it seems some are derpy.

    Here's a thought, maybe on release week, they are simply trying to smooth out the servers which have been up and down constantly.

    This is my first post, but really. With as much crap us console players are getting (its not our fault we don't have our own general discussion) for intruding on your turf I at least expected smart people saying smart things.

    Umm, didn't the lead developer said that they will be releasing information shortly after E3? (As expected by a lot of us?)

    Why the doom and gloom if E3 is just around the corner?

    So, now stay with me here, what part of that makes you think they are talking about PC specifically OR that it will be good news at all? You're reading into it too much. These people have said crap like that OVER and OVER..the stuff they mentioned a year ago still does not have a release date (about half of it). Sorry, but we've heard this before.

    If anything they will offer free transfers and game downloads to the console of your choice, before they shut the PC/MAC servers down.

    Can smell that a mile away....

    Millions of gamers on the console versions and a few hundred thousand(if that) on PC/Mac.

    I'm confused Cory, if information will be released (and I hope they do), it doesn't matter what platform you are on. Major updates is the same regardless of the platform. I am not here to argue, and I am one of those people antsy to get new information about new updates. I am not here about defending ZOS, but the fact of the matter is, they said this and I would like to them to stick to their word.

    Let's revisit this thread again.

    Point taken. I'm on the very wary side. Like I said, because the dev said something, it doesn't make it true.

    Notice no date? Just after E3. LOL and they made it look like they'll say something next week, when in the context of the sentence you could also take it to mean E3 is next week and they'll say something after next week. That sentence was carefully written.

    What do you mean? they already have more or less. When it takes you 2-3 months to change a single value or a simple fix, you may as well just call it quits if you really couldnt care any less.

    "maintenance mode" for ZoS means 'if we ignore it long enough maybe it will go away???'

    3 months later they may admit it was a bug or give up and say "working as intended"

    I think a fade to black is more likely than having the lights turned off, but I wouldn't be surprised if they decide that the PC player base is now too small to finance a separate version of the servers. The PC server has lots of unique problems that seem to be beyond repair, or at least beyond repair at a reasonable cost.
