Home shopping network….. Ellen dengenerete

I stopped reading after that.

I mean, they already have a flexpay program. They're one step away from infomercials for the box.

Bethesda is a dead company.

Microsoft is parading around its corpse.

Please don't break my heart like that

Don't really care about Microsoft; but I got lots of love for real for Bethesda. Once named 3 kittens Bethesda, BlackRock and Rocksteady.... Can't quite remember why I picked the last 2... Probably Batman... Blackrock I have no idea.

Building on the successful launch of Starfield, all the ZeniMax/Bethesda studios are poised to create some of the most exciting and innovative games in the industry.

So you agree or disagree that AAA games for PS5/Xbox Series X/S requires more devs and more money to make then Nintendo Switch games?

Not necessarily no.

Making a game with lower fidelity requires less people. Yeah. I'm shocked at this revelation.

All of Microsoft/Bethesda/ABK are just slightly bigger then Ubisoft for example. And I must say that King alone has 5K employees and is making games nobody in this forum cares about. So technically they have 17K employees in "core" gaming.

Graphical fidelity isn't the only metric in how games are made or how complex they are. Zelda TotK has a very robust physics system with extremely talented artists, musicians/sound designers, animators, programmers, and QA. Super Mario Wonder has fantastic animations and polished game feel which is a lot of work.

There are many examples of small-scale indie teams making their game look good with very little else.

Not to mention Larian who has 450 employees and created one of the bigger scope games this year, with a lot of high-fidelitness.

Another hierarchy change in a few months?

Jesus. It's starting to be confusing.
So Phil Spencer is head of Microsoft Gaming, Sarah Bond is president of Xbox and Booty is president of content and studios.

Under Booty we have
Alan Hartman who is boss of Xbox Game Studios
Jill Braff who is boss of all Bethesda studios
Rob Kostich who is boss of Activision studios
Mike Ybarra who is boss of Blizzard
Tjodolf Sommestad who is boss of King

So what's the point of keeping Jamie Leder as CEO of Bethesda if his studios have their own boss?

Its all weird, im guessing bethesda kinda has the same contract as bungie did years ago? I mean they were able to leave MS and become independent years ago instead of consently making halo
