Why is this guy allowed to make shitty video games with hundreds of millions of dollars backing him for decades now while many more talented and forward thinking game directors lost their job long ago? Does he have dirt on someone to keep his job?
>>724339841he's american and americans worship american games and american companies, simple as. if obsidian, bethesda,, ea and so many other companies weren't muttmerican they'd have bankrupted and been boycotted decades ago. the amount of shit ubisoft and cdpr get for shit vidya is hilarious compared to amerimutt companies that always get pardoned.
>>724339841One last ride Todd
Todd's games sell pretty well. Even Starfield sold pretty good in just pre-orders. Oblivion remastered made a bunch of money for basically free and Elder Scrolls VI will sell a ton too. Bethesda Games Studio is basically like western Gamefreak where everyone complains the games are bad but they buy them anyway. They even have the creator's club now where they skim money off their fan's work.
>>724339841>Todd got his job by just bugging bethesda a lot and telling them how much he loved their workI wanna live in that time.
>>724339974No one gives a shit if it's an american company. It's all because their games are decent enough and have extremely large modding communities all because of the type of games they are and how open they are for modding. The original STALKER series for instance isn't an american game series, and is pretty shit games too yet it gets a pass because almost no one plays it vanilla.
>>724339974They all have a cash cow that keeps the lights on. The sad part of gaming is real games dont matter. E33 was a months sales of Madden 2024... in the year 2025.
>>724340747gemmy normalchad games, they all bussin fr
>>724339841Ya
>>724339841It's unironically as simple as not being completely insufferable to work with and constantly tripping over yourself trying to piss people off, something the libshits infesting companies are apparently incapable of comprehending.
>>724340747Some FF7 fan Anon told me Rebirth was absolute trash unlike underrated Genshin Impact and I cant stop thinking about that.
>>724341329to be fair imagine how many kids are growing up on these games, i'm a thirdie from east europe and in my childhood i could only afford to play pirated GTA San Andreas online, Minecraft, and CS 1.6, I'd shill those games to everyone and say they're the best thing ever created, so for a lot of these gen alpha kids, their first years on PC or consoles are playing shit like f2p games LoL, Valorant, Genshin, Fortnite, Roblox and for them those games are probably the coolest thing ever in existance, once they grow up most will realize there's other shit to explore in vidya too or maybe they'll just stop playing vidya alltogether
>steal all the credit for an extremely successful game once 15 years ago>everyone wants to suck your dick forever no matter how hard you fuck up
>>724341586What scares me is how they are perfectly designed to be both addictive and take your money. Some will escape, I'd bet the majority dont.
>>724339841Are they shitty though? Starfield was a disappointment and got a lot of shit but a lot of people still played it because there's just nothing else fitting that formula.People make fun of the games for being jank, buggy and they are technically outdated by now but it's still pretty good compared to other attempts at sandbox games like that, even ones made by larger studios.It's a hard genre to make, it has it's niche and sells well enough.I do hope they get a proper upgrade in tech for TES6 though, I was willing to forgive them for starfield but they can't do that twice in a row.
>>724342040Yeah, nowadays multiplayer games are built to be addicting and constantly simulating, to the point where playing singleplayer games starts to feel boring or uninteresting. Honestly think most shit like that will be banned in the future, I don't think hyper short-term validation and content that everyone is growing up on will be healthy at all, imagine a kid being allowed to play a game with infinite popups and happenings for hours in his free time, and at the same time listen to music, and watch tiktok or ig reels, then be expected to sit down in a quiet room and study for hours. not gonna happen
>>724342370This
>>724342370>studyok unc. Just grok it.
>>724342343I think Elder Scrolls online has made 12 billion? Pretty sure they will baby this baby. Hope for a GTA V.
>>724342343TESVI is fucked if they allow it to get jeeted (they will).
>>724342370It's the opposite for me.Modern multiplayer games are shit.
Todd played a big part in making Morrowind what it is, you know. In fact, Morrowind was the last TES game he was Lead Designer on. From that point on, he has been "Executive Producer" on every project.
>>724339841Have you thanked Todd for Skyrim today?
>>724343173So he is the guy that ruined the company?
>>724342829I hate them now too, but I have probably spent like 2K hours in CS and League as a teenager and they have completely fucked my high school and college grades as well as social life almost beyond repair, just barely got through in life with luck. I think it would've been better for me if I turned into an alcoholic or a druggie since that is at least social and could get you hot bitches rather than competing in a meme game with a bunch of autistic shut-in retards
>>724343241Lead Designer is a much more hands-on position that exec producer. He has pretty much been relegated to pencil pushing and PR monkey duty.
>>724343487Im joking about if he worked on Daggerfall.
>>724343591Todd Howard and Kurt Kuhlmann were credited as "additional design" in Daggerfall's credits
>>724339974Muttmerica rules the world, bow before us
>>724343591Todd voiced some creatures in Daggerfall.
>>724339841Manlets are a protected class. They can't fire him without a very long and expensive lawsuit
>>724339841Todd is a bullshit. Ok maybe you happened to appeal to people with the "open world RPG" during those years where people only saw Bethesda doing it really, and it was in hit games like Oblivion, Fallout 3, and Skyrim. But once people got over the open world gimmick, they saw Todd's genre for what it really is: flawed, bugged, poorly designed, shallow, procedurally generated, uninspired, low effort slop. Starfield came as a surprisingly shitty release to many, but that of course made everyone retroactively come to understand that Fallout 3 and Oblivion and everything else was just as shallow and bland as Starfield. People were just sucked into exploring open world RPG like that for the first time back then. Now they don't want it. They don't want it and Todd is left standing with shit on his hands and we're all out of soap
>>724339841because millions of tasteless retards buy his slop
>>724346802>Here's your Godd bro https://youtu.be/6G4ckrpWFGc
>>724342808>jeeted with a side of kangGrim
>>724347797Clavicus' quest in Skyrim should have been about trying to return a copy of Skyrim instead of the dog.
It just works
>>724339841Because Todd has one things many devs lack entirely. Charisma. Everyone knows he's full of bullshit. Everyone knows he's a liar. But it doesn't matter. He has the charisma to lie directly to your face and you can't help but like him regardless. Plus he doesn't whine like a little bitch on twitter like a lot of other devs do.
>>724339841>Jews
>>724349836you can climb it
>>724339841He's at best was just a spokeperson, a messenger, bethesda frontface, you can develop the most shittiest game as possible in there, ask him to present your product, have that product flopped and slopped, and people will throw the blame to that guy instead of you
>>724339841it's to pay for his drug habits anon. it's obvious.
>>724339841He's just so likeable. Most people can't stay mad at him for long.
