GOG Users Disappointed | Bethesda Fails to Deliver Oblivion Remaster

A growing coalition of gamers is expressing frustration as Bethesda confirms they will not release an Oblivion remaster on GOG. Concerns over the developer's strategy are escalating, with critiques emerging from forums about their focus on profit rather than community support.

Fallout Over Bethesda's Decision

Player frustrations center around Bethesda's past treatment of GOG. One comment captures the sentiment: "They want that double-dip." But discontent runs deeper, as another voice notes, "Where's my Morrowind remake?" This further indicates a growing impatience with Bethesda’s failure to meet the community's hopes for remakes.

Market Strategy Sparks Debate

Gamers are questioning Bethesda’s market approach, especially given GOG's smaller user base. One user mentioned, "GOG will get day-one Bethesda releases around 2150." This remark struck a chord with many, as others expressed dismay, estimating they could face a wait of "six months to a year" for any updates. Remarkably, the sentiment that titles like Doom (2016) took ages to reach GOG still resonates, as one point out, "Doom only took 9 years!"

Interestingly, a user cynical about the remaster's pricing declared, "The better version is already on there for only $ atm. That price point on the remaster is INSANE"

Emerging Alternatives

With disappointment setting in, many gamers are turning to Skyblivion, a fan-made remake, as a promising alternative. One hopeful user stated, "GOG will probably have Skyblivion on release, which should outperform the Oblivion remaster." This shift highlights gamers’ disillusionment with traditional developments.

"It’s crazy that they’re still worried about DRM free versions since it’s so easy to pirate games nowadays."
