    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.

    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
