Former Bethesda head of publishing Pete Hines has spoken about the frustrations which led him to retire back in 2023.

That's why I've been ignoring Bethesda and Oblivion RPG releases; being part of Microsoft will lead to more shit.

From my perspective, Microsoft is not too far from an oligarch/criminal organization.

Bethesda can't control their taped together engine, they've made 1 real game in close to 11 years, and it STILL can't get decent facial movements down. On top of that it's a buggy mess. Even if TES 6 comes out before the fall of civilization, I won't buy until it's $20 or less. Fallout 5 has no chance of ever seeing the light of day.

Fuck Pete Hines. Him and Howard ruined bethesda long before microslop
