You would think that with all the performance problems, ZOS will spend money on better performance. Cyrodiil has been unplayable for years now and the lag is spreading to other parts of the game too. Soon we will get more players with the stadia release, so performance will even get worse. It would make the most sense if money is spent on increased work force or increased server capacity.
Instead they spend money on a Youtube cooking show to bring in more players..
The best part is, this video will not even reach a lot of people because of the language.

AmoralOne✭✭✭✭As much as I want to agree with you so hard, from a business point of view, they probably have a budget for this. Im sure you know, but a business doesn't just have 1 big pool of money, and you focus all of it at one thing.
They probably have a ton of different budgets for different things. unfortunately for us the performance budget doesn't seem to get enough love
I wish when we spent money on the game it gave us an option for how to redirect our money lol I spend $50 with ZOS and then I get to choose what budget the $50 goes to. <-- this is probably really flawed but it would be cool lolPC NA - EP's Greatest Support13 -

official Greymoor intro looks like a sponsored video, I don't speak the language so i didn't really watch the rest and i cannot say if he brings up the sponsorship. but honestly, given his number of subscribers (as in how big of an audience will this sponsorship get) - he probably got a few thousand and a free copy of the game at most (i'm erring on a side of more rather then less). not exactly an insane amount of marketing dollars.dirty worthless casual.

✭✭✭✭✭I don't speak dutch, but where does it say that ZOS paid this guy to do this?
To me it looks like a normal cooking channel that makes food inspired by different things. Was that video sponsored by ZOS? Also, how is that a bad thing anyway? Yeah, there are other things they should spend money on but that doesn't mean they shouldn't spend money on things like this at all... That is, if they even spent money for that.This Bosmer was tortured to death. There is nothing left to be done.9 -

I'm reasonably sure that the Marketing Dept has always had, and will always have, a budget. Even if the building was burning down.
(actually, I'm pretty sure all the departments of the company continue to have some sort of budget, even if there's a Major Priority for one of them to work on.)3 -

As a customer you still have an interest in how the money that you gave is being spent. Grammatical possession covers a lot more than legal possession.3 -

doubtful. at most its free advertisement, but I'm still reasonably sure its a sponsored video. the last part of the description according to google translate says
with a link attached that takes you to "buy now" splash page. most youtubers disclose sponsorships as in "this video is sponsored by..." inside the video itself and most of them tend to start with a short intro for their sponsors, with longer sales pitch later in a video. description just has links to the sponsor.The Elder Scrolls Online is a huge online world, set for the events of Skyrim. Greymoor is the name of the new expansion, taking you back to Skyrim and the dark caves below. Greymoor is out now for PC, Xbox and PlayStation
and I'm not saying there is anything wrong with ZoS sponsoring a cooking show, and its not like they've never done something like that before, "sponsored twitch streams like Yoggcast, cough" - just saying that as habitual youtube watcher, this reads like a sponsored video to me.dirty worthless casual.

Was curious about this too. We are not a very big country and I'm pretty sure most people interested in mmo's/rpg's already know about this game and either already own it or will not buy it. It is no easy task to change a Dutch mind when they already made their decision.
Some people say this could easily be a fan video too, but he promotes the game in Dutch, telling people it's available now. Given the limited audience I was quite surprised.0 -

✭✭✭✭✭You obviously have never owned a business. You spend some of your money on marketing in order to gain MORE revenue. Those ad dollars will hopefully end up netting a profit. Which you can use on making improvements to your business. Complaining that they are attempting to attract more players at a time when potential interest is absurd. Why would you expect no money to go towards marketing during a time of a new expansion?0 -
