Good on Zenimax and MS for maintaining status quo. I believe all ongoing Zeni games should continue as is.
Future games are up to MS and that is to be expected.
Well... Of course it won't change.
Agreements were made long before MS brought Zenimax. Any changes now would require costly legal changes and renegotiations with Sony over the terms of service and other stuff. So really wouldn't make any sense.
The important part of the message is "the platforms currently supported" which doesn't include the PS5 since that hasn't released yet. While I'll still play ESO on my PS4, I cannot justify spending any more money on it knowing that there is a strong possibility in the future for the game support to be terminated or that there will no longer be a balanced approach to content release to the platforms. Nothing any of the corporate heads can say will stop my concerns since none of these press releases are actual legal documents that hold them to what is written.
