Well yeah, but those aren't exactly remote possibilities at the moment. Wheeler is a complete dipshit and they just promoted him, so we're probably stuck with his bad decisions for years to come. They're struggling to produce content in a timely manner and with MS cutting costs they may not be able to hire enough people to pick up the pace.

I don't think the game is 100% doomed. It could chug along, or get a surge as VI info drips out, or maybe ZOS could even get its shit together. But I also wouldn't be shocked if it bleeds enough players to die within 5 or even 2 years.
