I wonder if Bethesda games are going to suffer from the same thing as Final Fantasy, where all the fans are in their 30s and 40s because it takes so fucking long for the next game to come out now that young people aren't becoming fans. Add on the issue that each game they release is worse than the last and it doesn't bode well for long-term prospects.

Then again people love their open world slop, so perhaps it'll work.

Bethesda games or more accurately TES and Fallout aren't on the level of Rockstar games, COD or sports games but since Oblivion/Fallout 3 they've been up there on the list of "4 games a non-gamer normie dad gets for his PlayStation/Xbox" where Final Fantasy has never been on that level of mass appeal in the West. It's just too niche, too anime and too Japanese which is why they tried making the newest one all dark and gritty
