Microsoft will kill ESO just like they killed Halo

✭Am I missing a way to source Major Prophecy on this forum or something?
Way too early on to say whether this is good, bad or will even have a noticeable impact.17 -

✭The same Microsoft that have ported all but one halo title to PC, and included it all in their game pass?
The same Microsoft that will include its Xcloud game streaming service free with its game pass sub?
The same Microsoft that have been championing crossplay and many other gamer friendly systems for the past couple years?
The same Microsoft that purchased, invested in, and grew Minecraft even further and is now the biggest selling game in the world?
The same Microsoft that hosts dedicated high quality servers for all its game studios games, and even supports the pro scenes of them?
The same Microsoft that recently built a brand new and the most expensive game engine ever built (over 500 million, the infinity engine) for the next instalment of the very game you claim they killed?

✭✭First off Microsoft didn't kill Halo. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean its dead. Second, it looks like you play on PS4 as your banner shows so that leads me to believe you are still big on the whole console wars Xbox vs PS4 nonsense which probably means you hate Microsoft for that weird reason which lead you to making this pointless thread.23 -
Swordancer✭✭✭No one is spending 7.5 billion to burry or kill anything. I belive they gonna make ESO PvP finally working with Azure and Microsoft software quiality is much beyond what we experience with ESO. This is very good news in my opinion.15 -

Thanks for that but you're making an assumption, which makes your post pointless. I played Halo before Bungie sold it to Microsoft and in my opinion, the game play suffered.1 -

✭✭You guys need to look around.
M$oft didn't buy Bethesda for a nearly 7 year MMO. I highly doubt they care at all about ESO success or failure wise. The important part is owning the elder scrolls IP. They want that juicy single player game while owning all rights to ES products.
If your going to worry just look for these signs:
Recent changes of high end positions
Mass firing of CS staff
Lack of content *Note: I did not say bug fixes* - Content costs more than a bug fix.Edited by karekiz on September 21, 2020 3:55PM1 -
Pyvos✭✭✭✭Yea they'll kill off Halo like they did by putting the Halo games on Steam, worked on porting when necessary and upgrading assets to make Halo and Halo 2 look absolutely stunning (Halo 3 looks potato, but that's okay). Yea, they really killed those games, especially for Halo 3 and Halo 4 which I couldn't play due to them not being originally on Windows (looking forward to the rest of the ports).
Sarcasm, in case you didn't notice.7 -

✭@I_am_Groot ...thanks for sharing this sad bit of news that Halo is dead. You might pass along the news to the people who are working on the movie/series that is being made AND the new video game coming out about that.
They might be interested in this bit of sad news.

This.
Hopefully cross virtual server play as well so that BG population increases.Breton Templar

Yes, Microsoft killed some studios and brands they bought. They also make some of them a lot better (like minecraft for example). Based on lack of money investments into ESO that happened in last 2 years (cutting expenses on assets, new servers, actual development) I think that this deal might be great for us.
Zenimax didn't invest a lot of money into ESO (and most of other titles) so they probably wanted to sell IPs for some time. TBH when considering performance, anything will be better then what we have now. Without any changes eso would die anyway because lack of support2 -

Curious to know how you did that? Microsoft bought Bungie in 2000 and Halo was released over a year later in 2001.

Halo is what we call a zombie franchise it is selling, but only to the average npc gamer who buys whatever they see. To real fans of the game its been dead since Halo Reach.1 -
Meesha1170✭✭✭✭I'm on PS4 so I wonder if ESO will become and XBox exclusive once the new consoles launch. If so do you think they will allow a one time account transfer to PC or XBox?1 -

They've more or less come out and said current games and those due for release in the coming year won't be affected. Any games thereafter will be decided upon on a game by game basis.0 -

Bungie sold the rights of Halo to M$, just look it up. M$ is a *** company and has no idea how to make any games with any creativity. I hope it stays true that ZOS/Bethesda keep on with what they have created, but M$ now holds the money purse now and time will only tell2 -

✭MS has owned Halo since before the first game was released. You may feel like Halo suffered when development passed from Bungie to 343i.
Here, there is no indication that developers will change, so it's a totally different scenario.“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.”11 -
