Elder Scrolls Online: 'I wanted the game to be more like Grand Theft Auto' | BBC News

It hasn't always been easy for Elder Scrolls Online. It has been played by 24 million people and made $2bn since it launched over 10 years ago, but Zenimax developers Matt Firor and Rich Lambert tell BBC Newsbeat about how it recovered from its rocky launch. Matt also goes into how he suggested taking a leaf from Grand Theft Auto Online's playbook as Rich admitted they had to go "almost back to the drawing board" during the early days of the game.
