Well they announced a bunch of small MP projects, one big MP project and another big SP game, so ... Y'know. (with TES VI presumably being SP-focused as well) It's not like that statement obliges them to only produce SP games - and as long as I can ignore the MP-focused stuff and great SP games keep coming out, I'll be happy.
Nah, this is bs. TES6 and stuff is still years away. If you're making a big fuzz about some sort of "save singleplayer" campaign, I'll expect you to actually release singleplayer games... soon and not years in the future.
No matter what people say, the multiplayer feature will always have an impact on the singleplayer part, even if it just means resources have to be split. Seeing people justify Fallout 69 being playable "solo" is hilarious to me, because the whole game will be setup as a grind with pvp. I'm too experienced with this crap to believe it won't be a boring slog if you try to play it alone.
