Yet they're the ones making a new flight simulator while everyone was expecting them to stick to the current one and make it better over time for at least 10 years (as Microsoft said)

Yeah, it's more like 8 years now.
Yeah I mean the trend has been obvious for years now, whether you look at GTA or Counterstrike. The times where you released a game, the game was now finished and you move to the next one are long over.
I mean I'm a fan of elder scrolls. What's going to happen it its development cycle?
I guess Bethesda is banking on there being more Bethesda RPG fans than TES specific fans. Bethesda in space is coming this year, after all. Which is good in a way IMO, because it keeps things somewhat fresh.
By the time TES6 comes out, Lemmy will have it's own controversy and the alternative Redmee will be the new site.

If games will take so long to create, we will probably also see price increases. They will have to fund that development time in some way. I think I do prefer the games like Skyrim where they did take their time to develop the whole world with a broad storyline and many small things that you can do, instead of rushing out a game in a year or two that has no replay value after playing the main story once.

Sounds like Microsoft is about to find out the hard way.
