    I would think that it’s cheap availability on GamePass and likelihood of frequent updates would make for a muted response to this one.

    Plus I don’t think it was protected to start with for modding purposes. People will be flying around in Thomas the Tank Engine by the end of next week.

      For these reasons, I’d rather buy Bethesda games. As a company, they aren’t assholes. I’d hate for them to get bought out by ea or something like all the rest.

          While you’re absolutely right to point out they have already been bought by Microsoft. I think we can all admit MS has had an unbelievably better track record with acquiring studios than EA.

        You forgot Fallout76 and their own shitty launcher, well and the fact that Microsoft bought them already…

          And horse armour.

          And all their attempts at turning modding into a walled garden they could control and profit from.

            At least they don’t tread modders like Rockstar, well at least not yet I guess.

        My only beef with them is their complete disregard for QA but, in the end, they’re right.

        We’ll do it for them.

        Well, and watering down the social commentary in their Fallouts to an absurd degree.

        Can’t wait for Fallout 5 to say “AKSHUALLY, it was all China’s fault and capitalism is based and Vault Tec was justified. Join the Brotherhood or die, trash.”

      The performance is absolute crap I think everyone should pirate it just to send a message. Like holy crap it’s awful.
