    Good luck Bethesda, even Obsidian has hit an 18 carat run of bad luck. I guess they’ll stay afloat due to casual players and the fact that its an elderschrolls game. But count me the fuck out on getting es7, that shit will need to be fucking amazing for me to pay the AAA price it will inevitability be, and I mean AMAZING cause after fallout 4 I’ve been disappointed with them. God I wanna be wrong Tod, PLEASE TOD PROVE ME WRONG 😭

    NGL I don’t have a lot of faith in Bethesda to actually create quality anymore. The image for this is for Vegas, which was more obsidian’s work, and they did it in a fraction of time, I think?

    I’m not a CEO or anything but maybe they should try making an elder scrolls more than once every 20 years.

      Seriously, it isn’t like Bethesda has a long list of IP to work with here.

      Other than Elder Scrolls and Fallout (which they should already be assumed to be focusing on to begin with), the only other IPs that are still alive would be DOOM and maybe Wolfenstein,

      Dishonored is dead, Quake is dead, they shuttered Tango so no continuation of Hi-Fi Rush or Ghostwire, RAGE is dead.

        Unfortunately, Bethesda decided to spend all their time working on Starfield. The only thing they had when they revealed the ES6 trailer, was the video. And that’s because they knew they’d get lynched if they didn’t annoubce ES6

        Oh is it Bethesda and ID software now? I didn’t know they merged. I knew ID software helped with Starfield, but I thought they were still separate.

          The Bethesda-id software-ZeniMax shit is so confusing, especially since Microsoft acquired Zenimax, and by extension Bethesda and id, in 2021.

          They are “technically” separate but Bethesda is still the primary publisher of id software’s games, and thus they do fall under their umbrella.

        I was wondering which franchises other than their “strongest franchises”. I think it’s starfield and doom.

        id develops Doom, Bethesda is the publisher, both of which are owned by ZeniMax, itself owned by Micro$lop under the Xbox division

        Also don’t Bethesda handle Doom, now?

        No, id Software is the developer company, which is owned by the publisher and published by Bethesda Softworks, both of which are owned by ZeniMax. The “Bethesda” that does actual game development is called Bethesda Game Studios; they handle franchises like Fallout and TES.

          Which one is talking in the article though? I am not sure who Jill Braff is; boss of the game development studio, or the larger publishing part of “Bethesda?” I thought Todd was the main person in charge of the game dev studio part, so I assume this is coming from the publishing part of Bethesda.

            Bethesda is hit particularly hard by the layoffs, IGN understands, with staff across its many development studios

            It’s talking about the publisher.
