What is going on with Square Enix and the 14 team?

ESO is its own beast imo, it's just so different than other MMO's.
It's unironically my favorite Elder Scrolls games since Morrowind, it's a way better singleplayer open world game than both Skyrim and Oblivion.
But I view it more as a singleplayer game tbh.
Unfortunately I really hate the way the characters look and the weapon switching combat but I love the world.

I agree actually about ESO being the best TESO game. Its the one which made me fall in love with that worlds lore, and there is so much to do and explore, even in just the base game. I consider ity one of my all-time favorite games actually. I think its a shame that so much of the content is split up into Chapter and DLC though. Honestly why I do not play unless I get a few months of ESO+. I like its character style personally, but its combat is by far the weakest feature. It tries to sell itself on being ‘play your own way!’ but inevitably falls into the same balancing issues every MMO class has. Honestly adding individual classes rather then having a system more akin to Skyrim ect. was a mistake.

In regards to SWTOR, the '' expansion '' was genuinely one of the most embarrassing launches ever and the story content is a complete joke.
The fact that they launched it even calling it an expansion is crazy, they hyped it up so much.
If you want to see a game that feels like it's on life support then SWTOR is probably a good example, it's pretty universally agreed upon that the state of the game is absolutely horrible.
Which is strange because it still has a ton of players ( cuz Star Wars ) but EA seems to have no real interest in doing anything with it.

Dang, that is a shame to hear. I loved SWTOR when it first came out, and if I had time I would likely still check it out, but it became clear after going F2P that it was aiming for things above its station. I am honestly shocked it was not shut down years ago.
