As a dev, they know their modding communities keep their games alive long, long past their expiration dates and will fuck with them as little as they possibly can - this takes them from games to household names to legends that everyone knows. As a publisher pushing products that aren't intended to be modded, they drink the koolaid. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Qualanqui@lemmy.nz 4 points 2 years ago (1 child) I disagree about the publishing side somewhat, every now and then the publishing team hits a home run. Like I've been playing Ghostwire: Tokyo recently which is published by Bethesda and it's a pretty good game, and let's not forget Prey which was an awesome game also published by Bethesda. So tbey do get it right sometimes. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] harmonea@kbin.social 9 points 2 years ago* I didn't say they don't make good games.
