Ohh look, another guy who has zero leadership knowledge commenting about leadership. 

You uhhh, don’t really understand how all networking works, do ya? Sony *absolutely* can shut that down, quickly, and end business ties with that developer/publisher.

Take Two are a bunch of big greedy snobs. GTA online has some of the worst grinding and microtransactions this side of f2p mobile games. Is it so wrong that he wants to help posts circumvent that shitiness? Yes sure maybe he shouldn’t have charged for his program, but whatever. He complied with their request to take…

Ok, Valve complaining about the “fairness” of anything is laughable, but I’m actually really curious about the decision-making process that led to this happening in this manner at this late a point.

Branching paths do not define story priority, rather it maybe defines Bioware’s defining features from previous games. The division had a strong narrative and strong world, but it is not through cut scenes.

They’re not profiting off of a culture, they’re profiting off a dance move. Arguing that 2 Milly should be paid for having his “culture” copied would be the quickest way for him to lose the lawsuit. If he’s smart, he’ll stick to the legal argument, not some bizarre racial accusation that Epic thought they could get…

War may never change, but Fallout keeps getting worse the longer Bethesda has this licence.  

Why do people keep giving Bethesda money?

In 76? It was fixed two, or three days ago.

Every time I see a screenshot of this game or a stream of this game, I see that big fucking list of TODO objectives in the top right just screaming text across a huge portion of the screen and I feel sick to my stomach. Bethesda needs to fire its UI designers.

No. They didn’t.

What is the purpose of a disc if I still need to download an 800 GB game TWICE and have my ISP send me hate mail?

Also, for whatever reason Fallout 76 drove me to appreciate ESO much more. Maybe 76 will have the same turn around as ESO?

Don’t worry, modders will make it g̶o̶o̶d̶ less a̶w̶f̶u̶l̶ bad

You’re literally responding to an individual who is correct in calling out this article in being wrong for stating Bethesda’s engine is AOK in the modern era, and saying they don’t know what they’re talking about. Thanks for playing.

Or, follow me on this... You don’t either.

This is actually an important part of the conversation that the article is glossing over.

Or maybe journalists could stop instantly coming to the defense of publisher and developers because they have personal relationships with them and insult the intelligence of gamers in the process? Devs use “engine” for a shorthand for their technology and so do gamers and the bottom line is that yes devs get lazy and…

There are some elementary ways we create our games and that will continue because that lets us be efficient and we think it works best.

I totally understand your argument (and acknowledge the fundamentally iterative nature of a “game engine”), but for me the issue with Bethesda games, since my last love affair with Skyrim, has been the way they feel not the way they look (I think they generally look good). And I think that aspect is inherently tied to…
