The Elder Scrolls Online’s director says doing the same-old yearly patch cycle wasn’t ‘going to cut it’ if the MMO developer ‘wanted to have a shot at reaching that 30-year mark’

The Elder Scrolls Online‘s going through a big shift—with subclassing falling somewhat short and a difficult year for Zenimax in the rearview, its developers have decided to shake things up.
