It is gonna suck.
It's gonna be shitty, expensive, AND buggy.
Look forward to the disappointment or just accept that late stage capitalism has ruined all of our lives and everything that we enjoyed, and it's only going to get worse.
That's how every TES game was: shitty, expensive and buggy. With zero bugs fixed after a decade since the release. Bethesda is extremely consistent, I'll give them that.
The horrible thing is that it doesn't have to suck.
Take Gamebryo, make Skyrim in a new map, new quests, scale it up for modern hardware a little, hire some voice actors and sell it. They could give everyone exactly what they expect.
They just won't. Everything has to be some grandiose overhaul for the sake of bullshit when it comes to Todd Howard and Microsoft.
It's from 2011, of course it's old.
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I’m glad no new Elder Scrolls game is coming out. With the enshittification of Bethesda, the announcement of TES6 coming out would just hype everyone only for it to be a buggy, microtransaction-filled trashcan. See Starfield.
I’m more hyped for Skyblivion than for TES6.
I mean it's a 14 year old game isn't it?
If I had a dog that was born in 2011 I would call him old.
I personally think games age faster than dogs ¯_(ツ)_/¯
It's impossible for it to be old. They keep releasing it, making it new every time. Just last week, they announced that it will be released on my toaster this summer.
It is an old game, technically it was an old game when it was released
It IS an old game.
Skyrim is older now than Half Life 1 was when Skyrim first released.
Skyrim is older now than Tetris was when Half Life 1 first released.
:(
I'm not old, you're old!
Thanks to the innovation and progress happening in Bethesda, it's also a new game!
Come on, it came out 11/11/11, that was like 3 years ago right?
Oh my sweet ~~summer~~ winter ~~child~~ geezer.
2011 was 14 years ago, the game is more than half my age x3
Do you often formulate math problems spontaneously?

When I was really getting into PC gaming in 2003 a game from 14 years before would have been released in 1989. Yes, I'd say that was old!
I don't like how time works.
Morrowind to Oblivion to Skyrim was 9 years TOTAL. (2002, 2006, 2011)

Let's put it like this- Skyrim is as old now as Final Fantasy VII was when it came out. If you had asked me then if Final Fantasy VII was an old game when Skyrim came out, I'd have said yeah.
Yes but more that that, not just old games should be on GoG, all offline games should be on GoG.
Pretty much all DRM free games are on GoG no matter the age.
You are inverting the logic there, all games on GoG are DRM free, but not all DRM free games are on GoG.
Exactly. Don’t need DRM unless multiplayer.
Multiplayer games also don't need DRM
I would say it’s essential for multiplayer games with servers because I wouldn’t want to host my games for free if I were a business and P2P connectivity is more hackable.
What? P2P is more hackable? Hacking just one central server is more difficult than hacking multiple P2P clients that check each other? That seems like strange reasoning. This really depends on the implementation, sure you can make it insecure, but you can also make it more secure.
And why wouldn't you want to host your own games when you want to play them together with others?
Hosting your own games also gives you much more power over it, you can mod it more easily etc.
IMO game developers of multiplayer games should also have to release dedicated servers to anyone that buys their game, so that they are still able to play the game, even if the game developer shuts the servers down, or their country is embargoed by the country where the game developer is located.
Depends on what you’re doing but yes because with p2p you don’t go through a server to implement a mod and you can break the game with less consequences.
For example it’s way easier to mod Space Marine 2 than Marvel Rivals, even though you can mod Rivals, because the server is required for spotting cheaters and banning them in more serious or competitive settings. Hence why Rivals players can mod skins in with some effort, but are liable to be ip banned if they use an aimbot in comp.
If they ship it without DRM, they could label literally anything an “Old Game” and that’d be fine by me.
