Will you be able to play ESO when the servers go down in 20 years?

    Ok, this may sound like a silly point and question to some, but have there been any word on what will happen to ESO when the plug is pulled? I have a hard time investing in a game that may go "dead" in the future. I still play Elder Scrolls Arena and Daggerfall now some 20 years later.

    Will we be able to play the game even if it would go offline? (As a singelplayer game, or by player hosted servers)

    Or will the game be totally useless the next time the Elder Scrolls Anthology is released?

    Their is talk in the industry about a museum for games, especially online games. And in 20 years The popular mmo's of today may end up their.

    However i ve always thought about how much time I have put into mmo's, and what do I have to show for it?

    Some people will tell you about the friends they made along the way. Others will talk about their collection they got. Some will say the exploration was really good.

    In a post world with no elder scrolls I will just be an old man reminiscing about a game that only other players of that game will understand.

    No. Nothing will exist in 20 years.
