    How many decades has Bethesda been dogshit?

    I mean I loved TES and I am praying they just re-release Sjyrim 87 more times rather than destroy the series by touching it again.

      We thought all the game companies in the past were great because we weren’t as in tune to what were bad practices, skullduggery, and just generally shitty behavior. Bethesda has always released bug riddled messes of games, just that community modding and the time frame they came out there weren’t many like that. Companies have always wanted to make money and did whatever they could to get it.

      Probably always, but I like to think that the company that gave me Arena and Daggerfall wasn’t dogshit yet.

      Always.

      They’ve just always gotten a free pass because of second hand credit from all the incredible modding that happens on their games.

      If their games were not moddable, and they did not have a community to rely upon having done billions and billions of dollars in free work and labor for them, Bethesda as a company would have probably died 20 years ago.
