That’s a bummer. I really liked the vision she initially set out with when she entered the role, but the actual content of the site never seemed to move beyond “game journalism, but a bit more snarky.” I wonder if some higher-ups never really let her vision move forward.
I’m getting it on Steam just for the modding capabilities! I like that Bethesda has been good about getting mods onto the Game Pass version of F4 and Skyrim, but those aren’t as extensive as the Steam versions.
Even so, we’re still likely to get mod support given what Bethesda has said about the modding community.
Seems like a safe bet on PC. If Bethesda doesn’t fix any broken parts, the mod community usual does.
I don’t love it, but I’ve found that it’s been less intrusive than I thought. Generally only feel it when the internet goes out. That said, I’ve got fairly good fiber internet, so I’m a bit privileged in this regard. We used to have absolutely horrendous rural internet and it sucked.
Here’s my thing: I don’t necessarily care what sort of game you make, I just want it to be feature-complete and technically solid (I.e. mostly bug-free). Whether that’s a small indie game or a massive AAA game, those two things should be true.
I think what most people find frustrating is that the in-game store is the most well developed part of most AAA releases nowadays, which often ship riddled with bugs.
