To address your point of toxicity, I didn’t get the impression. In fact it’s the first thing that popped into my head as well.
Bethesdas reputation is just that tarnished.
Meaning the last 6 years of his career there were on starfield, which he wasn’t a manager of, if he quit 3 years ago.
This feels like a standard toxic gaming community thread where dismissing someone’s achievements is for some reason fair game.
Dude held a job at a huge publisher for 14 years, then quit and developed his own thing.
Good on him!

Yeah I dunno. Journalist who worked at cnn 20 years quits to make own newspaper wouldn’t do it for me either

Flip the conversation. What WOULD show a level of experience that equated to quality to you?

What specifically he worked on, really.
He could’ve been the UI/UX programmer, he couldn’t been the enemy AI programmer or etc etc. I know that programmers wear many hats but I can say I am a 3D modeling software developer for 12 years, but the fact that I worked mostly on moving data between languages and API creation means that I wouldn’t have the correct set of skills necessarily to create good 3D software

Journalism on CNN is alright, it’s the political commentors that have been paid off.

Nah I’m just ragging on the fact that Bethesda has released only like 2 new games in a decade and a half. And then updates of the old goodies like every year.
Its not about the developers it’s about how shitty Bethesda is.

You’re missing that he quit during the development of that crappy game, which gives him extra points for judgement.
