8 Video Game Developers Who Totally Sold Out
8. Bethesda
It was the DLC drop heard around the world. A clattering mess of horse armour that some would argue was the slippery slope that led Bethesda from being one of the most respected video game developers to the questionable quagmire of desperate greed that it is today.
The moment that this completely useless horse-based accessory hit the market, the internet was awash in the hammering of keyboards expressing their resentment at being charged for this tin foil tat. Yet, Bethesda wasn't deterred by this, and over the years the increasingly alarming rate at which their titles have become bloated by DLC has only grown and grown.
As it stands now Fallout 76 may well be the monument to all their sins, a barely functioning mess of a title that favours stuffing the framework full of DLC skins and items over implementing critical feature fixing. A company of this size should never be releasing titles of this poor quality, especially given their history, and it's a damning indication that they've all but given up the ghost at this stage.
At least it'll be Microsofts problem now, and they have a great track record of handling developers... right?
