You're 100% allowed to just enjoy it and not worry about the drama. That said, we're looking at the fifteenth year on the horizon with no follow up to Skyrim.

A "AAA" studio taking fifteen years to make a game is unacceptable. Especially when its a game that guarantees massive sales thanks to the IP's pedigree.

Bethesda leadership is incompetent.

Why is it unacceptable?

Also plenty of games have taken 10years to make or more. And dev on ES6 wouldn't have started right as Skyrim was done. At least not on full.

Why does dev time matter anyway?

If you're the Adams brothers making Dwarf Fortress then yeah, I'd agree with you.

Agree. If it comes out someday I'll probably buy it and enjoy it. Even starfield I thought was fine. Not great, it was fine. BUT ain't no way it's been under development for 15 years. It's been on the back burner. They're terrified because they know they can't top Skyrim, and that style of gameplay is no longer really accepted. (See - Starfield endless loading screens).

Idk why any shareholder holds Bethesda stock, I guess now that it's Microsoft
