They have been very successful with Fallout 4 and Skyrim or Microsoft would not have paid over $7 billion to purchase the company.

While the game is not flawless for sure, there are not any major issues with it which have kept me from enjoying it for over 5000 hrs. And I only use Creation mods.

Yeah, it's very easy to blame others for client side issues. If there one thing I learned over the decades is that 9 times out of 10, it's a client side issue. Sometimes it's cookie blockers, or pop-up blockers, other times it's just poorly understood logistics, or just plain out-of-date hardware. Personally, I've not seen any gamebreakers in Fallout 4.

there in it for the $$$$ nothing else, methesda. it was great a long time ago, this game.

You realize Bethesda came in a package with a few significantly more competent development companies, right? No way in hell Microsoft would've paid 7 billion for Bethesda alone.

Fallout and The Elder Scrolls are the big names and moneymakers. Everything else was a nice bonus (and I'm saying this as a die-hard Doom fan). Tango Gameworks and Arkane Austin are already gone, others could follow.

This just in, a major video game company responsible for triple A brands likes to make money!

OP, do you not understand how businesses work?

Bethesda is a publisher. They HAVE a studio. They do both things. Slowly.

Why not aim this same ire at, say, VALVE?

Who has produced a TOTAL of what, 10 games *ever*? And yet, Steam is the biggest and best distributor of goods and "other people's stuff" on the market right now?
