They really should do more expansions for it, and official mod support, it's a shame Virtuous sounds like a shitty employer though. They basically on purpose went over budget to over-deliver and crunched the shit out of their employees all so they could use Oblivion Remaster as a marketing pitch for their company, at the expense of their employees health.
Virtuos is said to have made significant efforts on Oblivion, with a policy of over-delivering on quality relative to the budget, and a contract without royalties (no bonuses tied to the game's success). The result: teams were pushed to their limits for a pure showcase project, with its profitability likely to be questioned.
In February, towards the end of Oblivion's development, the company announced a freeze on raises and a reduction in group-wide bonuses. Management had been questioned about the potential risk of layoffs as a result of these measures but reassured employees.
It certainly explains why Oblivion patches have been slow, worked their employees to the bone and likely didn't even profit from it (ON PURPOSE!!), a contract without royalties, Wtf. Lol. Bethesda probably made all the profits and Virtuous employees have been left with fuck all except emotional trauma. I no longer blame them for the slow patches.
