There is canon, and then there is the line of core single-player games that get the titles The Elder Scrolls I/II/III/IV/V. Big difference.

And don't forget that there are two Bethesdas, one is a publishing company and the other a game design studio.

As for ESO, if you've played it and have expreience with more than one or two MMOs, you know that ESO is nothing more than a generic MMO in Elder Scrolls trappings. This is a betrayal of the Elder Scrolls franchise to the long time fans. Companies will grab for money any way they can, but eventually fans are going to start looking elsewhere if a single player open world game true to the franchise doesn't come along soon enough.
