From what I've heard, Bethesda and Obsidian have always been great places to work. I hope Microsoft isn't ruining that for the devs. Hopefully the increasing union presence in Microsoft will bring worker interests back into consideration.
I imagine Bethesda hasn't been fun to work for for a good 10 years now.
Word is that NOBODY wanted to make starfield other than Todd Howard. Apparently once whispers of being bought happened, he wanted that game out because he knew Microsoft would never allow them waste time on something that isn't elder scrolls or fallout.
Companies that make "boring" games are often great workplaces, while those that make bestsellers (such as CD project red, rockstar, etc) are shitholes putting workers through hell and constant crunch.
There's also an argument that smaller evolutionary releases every year or two are better for consumers too.
bethesda has only ever had layoffs twice in their history, i think one was before morrowind and the other was after asha took over xbox
Woefully wrong. Pre-Microsoft Bethesda was probably okay. But Microsoft Bethesda layoff waves were:
I am probably missing some. So honestly, the only thing save to assume that the only thing working at Microslop is their CoPilot.
What is Zenimax's relationship to Bethesda?
ZeniMax Media is the parent company for Weaver's video game publisher Bethesda Softworks. The company additionally owns the development studios Bethesda Game Studios, id Software, Arkane Studios, MachineGames, and ZeniMax Online Studios.
Thanks!
damn, not sure how i missed these
Makes sense, they were in dire straits before Morrowind, and well, Microsoft is Microsoft.
Really? Isnt it just Todd going around demanding things? Id never want to work under that narcissitic dick.
I can only go off of what I've heard directly from Bethesda devs, who from what I've seen generally have the attitude of ''he is a great boss who has been given too much to handle as the studio got bigger." You're probably referring to the 'seagulling' post which, afaik, was a 4chan post without a source.
Seen many things, him in interviews and Q&As, and have no idea what you are talking about with 4chan. Guy is full of himself.
It was an assumption based on the only similar staff perspective I have heard of, my apologies.
Guys, let's bring Skyrim to (insert random platform). - Todd
Lmao
"Guys, I know you are making the next Elder Scrolls right now, but I have this really cool space game I want you all to work on instead! It wont be shit I promise!"
Well, hate it love it, at least they're trying something instead of making the same ip over and over again. I thought people whine about AAA being sequel prequel sidequel
Bruh, we haven't had a real Fallout game in 11 years!
Godamn your username is still vile, well done again
It'll still be what it is next time you run across my posts lol
Fingers crossed
And no Elder Scrolls since almost 15
Not my cup of tea but I will side with you.these are 2 of the most popular IPs in the industry and they detoured for that shit? It makes no sense for fans and even less financially.
They could have put out an expansion for Skyrim every two years and people would lap it up, same for FO4. Its just insane that they'd rather make FO76 and Starfield.
I tried to like FO76 because I got it free, but I just couldn't. It was like a mobile game doing the same shit over and over. I played for about a week before I got tired of it and quit.
But you're right. They'd have been better off just doing continuous dlc than the crap they have done.
They need a massive engine upgrade/overhaul instead of a new IP right now.
this guy 100% lost to todd in high school chess 😂 all over the thread hating on him and shit
With all the bullshit you're spouting off I'm surprised you haven't pulled the "Todd hates Obsidian/New Vegas" card yet.
Why would Todd hate what made his franchise what it is?
I'm sure Microsoft firing everyone isn't helping...
