At least we will get another Fallout from the hands of Obsidian right? Right?

From what I've heard, Bethesda and Obsidian have always been great places to work. I hope Microsoft isn't ruining that for the devs. Hopefully the increasing union presence in Microsoft will bring worker interests back into consideration.

    I imagine Bethesda hasn't been fun to work for for a good 10 years now.

    Word is that NOBODY wanted to make starfield other than Todd Howard. Apparently once whispers of being bought happened, he wanted that game out because he knew Microsoft would never allow them waste time on something that isn't elder scrolls or fallout.

    Companies that make "boring" games are often great workplaces, while those that make bestsellers (such as CD project red, rockstar, etc) are shitholes putting workers through hell and constant crunch.

    Woefully wrong. Pre-Microsoft Bethesda was probably okay. But Microsoft Bethesda layoff waves were:

    I am probably missing some. So honestly, the only thing save to assume that the only thing working at Microslop is their CoPilot.

    I can only go off of what I've heard directly from Bethesda devs, who from what I've seen generally have the attitude of ''he is a great boss who has been given too much to handle as the studio got bigger." You're probably referring to the 'seagulling' post which, afaik, was a 4chan post without a source.

    Well, hate it love it, at least they're trying something instead of making the same ip over and over again. I thought people whine about AAA being sequel prequel sidequel

    Not my cup of tea but I will side with you.these are 2 of the most popular IPs in the industry and they detoured for that shit? It makes no sense for fans and even less financially.

    They could have put out an expansion for Skyrim every two years and people would lap it up, same for FO4. Its just insane that they'd rather make FO76 and Starfield.

    I tried to like FO76 because I got it free, but I just couldn't. It was like a mobile game doing the same shit over and over. I played for about a week before I got tired of it and quit.

    But you're right. They'd have been better off just doing continuous dlc than the crap they have done.
