    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.

      Yes, that would be terrible for them to be bought by somebody like MS.

        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.”
