ESO dev "befuddled" that some still don't know the decade-old MMO is out

When you hear the word 'MMORPG' you probably think one of three things: World of Warcraft, Final Fantasy 14, or Old School RuneScape. Perhaps, if you're like me, your mind wanders to the likes of Guild Wars 2, or even something like Lost Ark or Black Desert Online. But for the vast majority, WoW, FF14, and OSRS are 'the big three.' It's weird, then, that Bethesda, the creator of some of gaming's most iconic franchises, has struggled in the MMO space - Fallout 76's much-maligned launch and slow rebirth have been studied and dissected a thousand times over, and despite its ties to The Elder Scrolls, ESO has at times seemed like something of an underdog. All of this has left a "chip" on Zenimax studio game director Rich Lambert's shoulder.
