I’m putting it all out on the line here. I enjoy breaking leaks but if this is wrong I’m fucked. I know this. This is how much I trust the people who have verified (and I hope for a CBoaT appearance).
The short story is that Xbox Live and the OS, especially in functions that involve XBL, are a complete fucking mess. One source says we aren’t talking weeks until it works correctly but “months.” Things like parties dropping people when moving from one thing to another. Connectivity issues. Missed invites. Friend requests not working, etc.
Disney Dreamlight Valley devs have officially teased the second part of the paid expansion titled The Spark of Imagination.

Waiting a decade for new instalments in franchises as massive as Fallout and Elder Scrolls feels like a waste.
Microsoft have Obsidian but I feel it's Bethesda who just don't want to play ball as they've always said they want to do it themselves.
Once MS bought Zenimax in 2020 they should have put the Outer Worlds 2 on the back burner, allow Bethesda to finish off its own Space RPG with Starfield (despite totally different tone why have two in your first party portfolio with two developers who's gameplay is a tad similar) and got Obsidian for one of their projects to make a spiritual successor to New Vegas.
When the Elder Scrolls VI is finished Bethesda can then onto the main numbered Fallout 5 themselves.
The Outer Worlds 2 started development in 2019 so putting it on the back burner wouldn't have been the end of the world, they'd have always come back to it once Fallout was done and it would have been nicely spaced out from Starfields release once they had most likely stopped supporting it and all the expansions were released.
If they did this back in 2020 when they bought Zenimax and the game had a good, steady 4 - 5 years development, you might have seen it release in 2025.
We are literally going to be waiting until 2030 at the very earliest for Fallout 5 and all they seem bothered about is pushing Fallout 76.
I disagree. Part of these games is the support for the mod community. If they move to releasing a "next game" every 2 or 3 years, the modding support plummets and the franchises turn into just another run of the mill RPG.
Make the games good enough to withstand the test of time, to keep people coming back to them and expanding on them with mod support.
Yeah, let's all advocate for smaller gaps between series' releases, then we'll probably get headlines about how the series have dropped in quality and they could have benefited from more time in the oven. Let them cook.
Bethesda [or Microsoft] would have to reallocate internal and external studios towards fallout and elder scrolls titles. Bethesda has the issue of developing 2 big IPs that are large RPGs on rotation. If you want more Fallout and Elder Scrolls, development will have to be outsourced.
Something's up with all these rumors, something in the industry is being covered up and they are playing us like pawns. like adam sessler said "truth to power will win out". ive decided im not going to feed into this rumor (edited my comment), im going to start sending in death threats to everyone in the industry (not really), but im getting pissed now with all this propaganda/rumors.

Very nice. We have quite a lot of anonymous, disloyal Xbox people leaking bad news.
Could you do me a small favor mister writer dude? Could you please get some your disloyal friends to go work for Sony so we get some juicy info from them too. These Xbox leaks are getting a tad bit boring now. They are loosing that mystique they use to have. Need something really fresh.
You guys have beaten on M$ to the point where they have given up fighting back. There is no fun in that. Time to find a new target. Sony has thicker skin. They can take the punches and kicks better.
lol so Microsoft's main strength: creating/designing software and Xbox's main selling point: online play, are both majorly screwed....holyyyyy
Lol.. where is the professionalism?
