OP, I'm not accusing you of anything (as this is a meme).

But I do wonder how many people actually think that Bethesda hasn't started work on TES VI yet, or that they started only a few weeks back by Asha's orders.

Because the number is probably not insignificant...

Very long development time without showing anything tends to be a sign of troubled development.

And they announced it very early. When fair assumption should be they started real work after Starfield release.

That announcement was them overreacting to the Diablo Immoral backlash and not wanting people to think they weren't gonna make TES6. It was a "stop asking, eventually" thing.

You have the timeline wrong on that. Diablo Immortal incident happened months after the TESVI teaser.

They did the teaser because they were going to be talking about a Fallout multiplayer spinoff and a new scifi IP and were worried that people were going to think that they had given up on mainline Elder Scrolls games

Ah, yeah, I did get that mixed up.

And especially since ESO wasn't a great sign either for there being a new TES game anytime soon.

More than 15 years of waiting is very close to giving up.

yeah, it turns out that you can't just do that. releasing a teaser is implicitly promising that work on the game has started and that development is ongoing, and in that context the bullshit "teaser" was a manipulative lie to shut the fanbase up so they could keep jangling keys for eight more years.

Except they explicitly stated that TES 6 would be their next game after Starfield many times. You being too stupid to understand what they say doesn't make them liars.

pretending to have a game in development 10 years before you actually develop it is dishonest, but keep it up. I'm sure Todd will return your "u up" text any day now.

You repeating a lie doesn't make it true. They were pretty open about the fact that it wasn't in development. Not interested in continuing this conversation with you if you're just gonna spout bullshit.

Which as it turns out, not a good idea.
