    I suspect this is 80% execution biting them. (Though the cost is still dumb) If they’d left it truly modular and had not infected the main game with the intro quest then paywalled people. They’d be getting way less flack.

      I swear that Bethesda tries as hard as possible to mess up everything they do. There’s not much hope left for them so we just have to twiddle our thumbs and wait till they release Elder Scrolls 6, receive more awful reviews and outrage, and then get gobbled up entirely by Microsoft.

        Yeah. Unfortunately the only developers that are allowed to release good products in this economic landscape are 1st party Sony devs.

        Everyone else gets to profit off of people’s low standards.
