Passengers are still in the plane, lunch cart just came around!
God fucking damnit I really thought this was an Onion article.
None of that changes or even addresses what I said in the comment you are replying to.
Yes, a corpo flex often involves throwing a ton of money and manpower at something...
Yes, Skyblivion development will probably continue... doesn't change the fact that Bethesda just did a giant corpo flex on them.
The... whole ... point of a corpo flex ... is to showcase that you have a disproportionate amount of legal and monetary power, and you can use that to humiliate upstarts, show others how insignificant they are.
Have... you never worked in a large corp? Or... studied how they make business decisions?
Have you ever worked in software development?
... never even picked the corpo background for cyberpunk 2077?
Please, please Canada, as an American I beg you, fucking ban Uber.
Throw it on the pile of 'shit from America it turns out we don't actually need or want that badly'.
... Were you dropped on your head as a child?
Yeah they spent years working on a remaster just to dunk on a small mod team.
Yes, that literally is what they did.
If Skyblivion had released first, even for free, far more people would be going... wait, why would I pay for yet another Bethesda remaster... when a free one already exists?
This is the company that routinely releases broken buggy games, because they can't figure out how to actually fix their engine, their games routinely have to be fixed and patched by modders... who keep trying to figure out how to monetize mods or any kind of additional content the way record labels monetize artists.
At this point, it is difficult for me to think of a game company that is more absuive and exploitative of its most truly dedicated fans... aside from Roblox.
Oh, well, 'Bethesda apprectiating what the Skyblivion people are doing' would look something like hiring the mod team to complete their work in house, as an actual official product.
... So that they could be, you know, paid for their passionate work.
Passion doesn't pay bills.
Does... did everyone just now not remember how that was a thing that used to happen? Mod teams actually getting hired, paid?
Particularly with Valve, back in the late 90s through 00's?
Bethseda certainly wouldn't love to see that, they'd sue them into... ahem, well, Oblivion, if they tried.
Yep, its a massive corpo style flex, 'kill them with mandated kindness' type of move, grin for the cameras as we demean you.
The Skyblivion devs are almost certainly in mental shambles right now, but they have to put on the happy face.
Anyone who doesn't understand this has either never worked in software, or for a large corp, or both.

That's right Elon, congratulations you won!
You figured it out!
Just go back to Tesla, and everything will be ok.

Jesus fucking Christ, chances are good that Elon literally has an Asuka dakimakura...
