I sure do love it when companies learn the wrong lesson.

Its Bethesda and Todd Howard, their entire career is built on learning the wrong lesson.

Its just gotten to the breaking point of where its castrophic for the games. the point where even modding wont fix it or even create interest in. Honestly Bethesda probably would have crashed out 20 years ago if it wasnt for modding keeping their games afloat and being the major driver in their popularity.

And they fucked up so catastrohpically with starfield that even the modding isnt saving it. Literally, at the time of this post, Fallout 4 has significantly more players (34,500), than Starfield does (4,400). a 10+ year old game is crushing their supposedly great new property.

I remain convinced to this day (aint seen season 2 yet) that the only reason Fallout TV is as good as it is, is because theres enough people in power on the show to basically tell Howards worst ideas and impulses to get bent.
