      Yeh I remember how people were so hyped for Half Life 3 for years. Then how long it was taking became a meme. Then people pretty much stopped giving a shit about the Half Life franchise entirely.

      Bethesda are risking that happening to their most valuable IP.

      It was 4 years from Morrowind to Oblivion. 5 years from Oblivion to Skyrim. It’s been twelve years since Skyrim. It’s been five fucking years since they released the teaser trailer for Elder Scrolls VI. I can feel myself already losing interest.

        I really don’t understand why publishers do this. At best, you can’t give a representative image of the game 10 years in advance and people loose interest over time (Anybody that cared about Duke Nukem Forever?). The whole project might change drastically, maybe even multiple times.
        At worst, both fans and shareholders get whiny about the releasedate and demand it to be released ASAP. Resulting in releases similar to that of Cyberpunk 2077. Why not announce the game when it is actually (almost) done?
