Dead from Covid, economic crisis, grew out of video games in the last 15 years, economic crisis, etc Lots of reasons that a 30+ year old is less likely to be able to waste £70/$80/etc on a video game on release date (when it matters the most) than children are

But this one is kinda metagaming so it doesnt count bsky.app/profile/dest...

Its also going to flop because nothing can go right in the video games industry right now and they NEED this game to do well and its going to be the straw that breaks Xbox's back

This thread inspired by the last Gerstmann Show podcast where he and Jordan Middler are talking about how kids don't care about Halo/Gears/Xbox anymore because they havent had a reason to care

Maybe they'll get some accidental purchases from people who confuse it with Elden Ring

People are going to ask "ChatGBT" if Elder Scrolls 6 is a sequel to Skyrim and ChatGPT is gonna be like No. The Elder Scrolls 6 and Skyrim are completely unrelated games. Skyrim was a 2011 video game released for the Xbox 360, Playstat– And then theyre gonna stop reading and not buy that shit

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

But I think a few factors are going to lead to ruin here: •Elder Scrolls fans are all 30+ and/or dying from Old •Kids have Fortnite and Minecraft and Roblox so they're not going to beg for TES6 just bc its the zeitgeist •Its not going to be called Skyrim 2 and people are fucking stupid

When Skyrim came out it was the biggest thing since sliced bread (because Minecraft barely existed in a way that people cared about other than Sickos) It was an EVENT and even kids and preteens were lining up for it

120

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 01/10/2026

Thinking about how Elder Scrolls 6 is almost assuredly going to flop because it's taken 16 years to not come out and however many more years until it's even close to being shown off Elder Scrolls' youngest fans from V's release date are going to be fucking 30, I dont think kids care about Skyrim

I would like to preface this by saying that I only ever use Threads when I get baited into clicking ingo a post bc I'm a boomer who uses Facebook regularly But Threads has an actually pretty neat feature where if the feed refreshes but you didn't initiate it, it snapshots what you were looking at

heard Pat Stareat talk about this a few days ago, seems reeeallly neat

that was two different thoughts. I just didnt want to make a second unconnected post about Reddit on my blusky

030

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

Reddit is full of the people who "dont even own a TV" but theyre arguing about how woke the new season of Lanterns is

220

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 26/09/2026

i love redditor as an insult because even if the website Reddit didn't exist, calling someone a "Read-It"er has very clear connotations (a person who's smug and annoying about information/hobbies, because they've always conveniently read about it somewhere right before you told them)

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Where!!! Where did i say they should die!!!

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Thats fair but they should change their name to Bigoblins or something and save "bugbear" for a sick bear with six legs and an exoskeleton

110

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I believe the first time I ever heard about a bugbear was from the Continue?cast spin-off podcast Fantasy Fiction where the two hosts would write short comedy fantasy stories each episode and read them to each other So naturally it was just assumed the audience would know what a bugbear was I guess

110

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

fuck you thats not a bug bear THIS is a bug bear

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

It's not the most disappointed I've ever been in my life, but pretty close to the top is hearing about the fantasy creature "Bugbears" for like a decade (without ever hearing an actual description) and finally seeing a depiction of one only for it to be a stupid big Goblin

The worst part is that I know who Eggers is!! I'm not confusing him for Ebert, my eyes literally misread his name completely every time. All the letters are there and just rearrange themselves in my brain like the BBC Sherlock mindpalace

020

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

film director Robert Eggers is so fucking funny to me because every time I see his name in relation to some movie news I have to squint at it for a second like "Whuh...? Aint that dude dead....?" and then I realize I've misread his name as film critic Roger Ebert

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

And if anyone complains about it 90% of the comments are like "games from 2008" YEAH BUT THIS ONE ISN'T, JEREMY.

The larger Persona 4 community has been pretty good about keeping the mystery alive for the last twenty years, but imagine seeing unsolicited algorithm posts all the time when P4 Revival comes out where theyre just full throated saying Culprit's name and posting ai generated photos of him and shit

120

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

And I get that these are probably the same type of people who spoil shit instantly the moment they see it anyway so common spoiler etiquette expanding to rereleases is worthless too But fuck, man

120

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Absolutely no regard for the idea that maybe a big collection of remasters and a previously console exclusive game being made available for the first time in nearly 20 years might have people playing the series for the first time?

120

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

And it's like, none of them seem to be doing it maliciously they just have no fucking filter about anything and dont care that their experience isnt the universal experience. They played Metal Gear on release date so why didnt everyone?

120

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Facebook is constantly tormenting me with posts from a Metal Gear Solid group that I keep hiding and marking not interested on and half of them are AI Generated slop but the other half are just incredibly blatant all caps spoilers about Metal Gear Solid V specifically (but occasionally others too)

120

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 22/09/2026

Spoiler Culture whatever screaming into a fucking void here who cares But I feel like the obvious common courtesy should be Not Blatantly Plain Text Spoiling Shit In Big Bold Letters after a re-release of an old game– Even if the game you're posting spoilers about wasn't part of the re-release.

Wow, a whole September 21 passed and I both A) didnt notice and B) didnt think about Demi

Oh god yeah I forgot that shut down this year (or idk in the last 12 months, might've been late last year)

110

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

And then I went to log in to Dalaran (my old Private Server) for the first time in a couple of years to find out it went offline earlier this year and I lost my level 80 warlock from 2015 (as well as my Death Knight & a few other characters) Kinda weird and bittersweet, then two days later Blizzcon

010

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

It was an interesting time for Blizzcon to happen as my wife has just started DMing a D&D campaign for me and a few of our friends and I've homebrewed together a Death Knight character (Death Grip, Death Coil, Plague stuff, etc) so I've been reminiscing about Warcraft a lot the last few weeks

120

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I think its for the best because if I'd gotten in on WotLK Classic and then eventually had my character stuck in Cataclysm again I would have crashed the fuck out in ways the world would never recover from

000

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I legit think I just fucking hate the Battlenet client I'm not necessarily ABOVE trying out Forever when it comes out, might have to see if I can bypass Battlenet by just putting the exe on my desktop. I've just never been into Vanilla Plus as a concept I'm very sad I missed WotLK Classic but

100

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I think about signing up for WoW: Forever and having to go launch it from Battlenet, not even getting to type in my username and password on a cool login screen, and then spawning in on day one to see motherfuckers riding Overdesigned ass Premium Microtransaction mounts and I just get frustrated

100

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I don't even necessarily dislike the idea of Forsaken Paladin, but its definitely one of those things where I look at it and think its some hacked together stupid bullshit from a shitty private server

110

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Neutral Playable Race + Forsaken Paladin gives me the exact same ick that I've heard people talk about when they mention Pokemon Romhacks rebalancing things and giving Pokémon different typings.

110

that mouse had a THOUSAND bitches @destross.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

I just dont think I can get excited about this Blizzard doing anything with World of Warcraft at all Even if they permanently brought back WoW:WotLK Classic, it'd still feel tainted in a way I can't describe. And the things they're doing for WoW Forever immediately turn me completely away
