They've learned something. They learned that they can be as shitty as they want to be, and still the modders will bail them out. I trust this move now will also change nothing in that regard.

Starfield may have changed that somewhat, apparently its a fucking pain to work with.

Still sold a bajillion copies though.

I think all they've really learned is that they can push out whatever game they want, well-made or not, and it'll sell.

Give it time studios rarely fall with one or two bad actions, opinions are turning on Bethesda and unless they get their shit together theyll fall apart. Id say they are at a crossroads of either reform or become modern bioware.

I feel Blizzard should've been that already, but it seems like they're still going strong after quite a bunch of really bad moves.

Yeah fair enough. Though I suspect part of it is just Blizzard having a rather large casual contingent.
