Gamers being in denial about what sells and what doesn't is hardly new, LOL.
Some people can't bear the idea that there is more to the industry than their own specific personal tastes.

Fallout3 is bc on xb1/pc and is 4k on xb1x/pc. They should probably do a f3 port to switch though for portability.
Skyrim hasn't even been released that many times, Just Last Gen, Current Gen, and Switch. Heck, Metal Gear Solid 3 has been released 5 times, and GTA San Andreas like 9 times.
That said, just remaster Fallout 3 you cowards.

A contradictory pair of statements that is simultaneously not contradictory.
Based Todd.

1. Mobile Skyrim exists in the form of Skyrim Switch
2. Blades is on its way.
With a bit of imagination, yes.
Just let me have a bit of fun...
Releasing more Skyrim stuff is safe because it always sell? Is that logic not true...?
Or is it not contradictory because releasing all the versions of Skyrim are "the worst way to do things"?
I think some people underestimate how strongly the idea of a general fantasy open world RPG, where you can play your own character, avoid the plot and just be a trader or a Hunter or something weird like a vampire hunter or troll slayer, resonates with people that like roleplaying but rarely finish games that lock you into a main quest.
Re-releasing Skyrim does not preclude them from taking risks as a company, though.
Its amazing how hard is to this generation to grasp basic logic, to the point that people have to come out and and tell them straitgth how it is.

To be fair, they didn't have to say anything if they didn't want to. The numbers and business practice speak for themselves
Well, consumers are dumb, so. You gotta translate it to them.

Actually, he said that in a interview, so someone asked about this. But i do recgonize that a lot of folks see the "criticsm" related to re-release of skyrim just as what they are, jokes. I mean, we had a trhead other day were the guy was mad because RE4 is not on switch yet.
Man...
How do you not play Skyrim?
Want to go back 7 years? Remember this? The perfect marriage of a live action game commercial and a kick ass cover?
Watch that and tell me you don't want to boot the game up.

Did you try PCVR for Skyrim? Modding that and seeing some of those environments blew my fragile little mind.
I don't know why people are complaining about ports it's not like TES6 or Starfield are going to come out faster if they don't make these ports.
Beg for the ports you don't get complain about the ports you do.
This is the way of the internet.
I bought it on PC at launch
I bought it on PC for the Special Edition
I bought it on Switch
I have no regrets

That's not how business works. Customer is the king - they have the power to kill a company by spending their money elsewhere. What he said might not exactly "impact" him but to take that risk is a very dumb business move.
Re-releasing it is fine but charging a still pretty high price for a re-release when the same game breaking bugs from it's original launch are still in there is what is fucked. It's even more fucked that those glitches have been fixed by modders on the pc version.
To be fair, these might not be the same people complaining, but I admit it does feel like this. :P
I'll buy it on Xbox Scarlett and Ps5
Too many memories of cooking dinner while the main theme played on a loop waiting for me to press start everyday for months on end.
