  I recall watching some deep-dive reviews of the elder scrolls games and it being mentioned that Todd defended his dumbing down and pandering to the lowest common denominator of the RPG series as the right thing to do, because high sales figures protect the workers from the financially unstable position the studio was in prior to Morrowind’s success. I guess that’s out the window, now.

    I mean, I don’t think Todd could have predicted the world’s economic crisis it is currently in.

    If people like you and I actually had the money to spend on games like we used to ~10-15 years ago, I would say it is less likely that Todd’s statement would be considered wrong.

      this man makes a fair point, my game spending is down 90% in the last 5 years.

  They laid off the lead artist who has been with the company since Morrowind.

    She was the one who did the beast races, too! Those are the best ones!

      Never forget what Oblivion did to beast race legs.

  With this the last hope I had for ES6 died. First the news that Micro$lop forced them to rush it and now this? Seems like Skyrim will have to live for another 15 years or longer

    Bethesda wasn’t exactly doing themselves any favors beforehand but Micro$lop definitely made it worse

  You need a better strategy than protests.

  Unions need to strike. It’s the only way to stop the massive layoffs that are hitting the other studios MS owns.

  Stop all work immediately and strike. They are likely to lose their jobs anyways so what’s the point.
