From what I've heard, Bethesda and Obsidian have always been great places to work. I hope Microsoft isn't ruining that for the devs. Hopefully the increasing union presence in Microsoft will bring worker interests back into consideration.

    I imagine Bethesda hasn't been fun to work for for a good 10 years now.

    Word is that NOBODY wanted to make starfield other than Todd Howard. Apparently once whispers of being bought happened, he wanted that game out because he knew Microsoft would never allow them waste time on something that isn't elder scrolls or fallout.

    Companies that make "boring" games are often great workplaces, while those that make bestsellers (such as CD project red, rockstar, etc) are shitholes putting workers through hell and constant crunch.

    I can only go off of what I've heard directly from Bethesda devs, who from what I've seen generally have the attitude of ''he is a great boss who has been given too much to handle as the studio got bigger." You're probably referring to the 'seagulling' post which, afaik, was a 4chan post without a source.

    Well, hate it love it, at least they're trying something instead of making the same ip over and over again. I thought people whine about AAA being sequel prequel sidequel
