Do default judgements usually hold a lot of weight when considering precedent?

It does matter though. Can’t play a lot of old PS exclusives on PC. That is starting to change for some new games though.

Well yeah, that’s the point. Maybe Sony will stop forcing exclusivity and sign a deal with MS to get Bethesda games back on PS and FF and others on Xbox.

Yep, more likely intentional than just a technical issue with the website.

Doesn’t need to be publicly traded to have those issues.

Imagine having that happen to you and somehow having the willpower to do it again. The dark side of playing games for a living.

Fallout 76 is extremely different technically from their single player games so of course it’s going to be more buggy. I’d be more interested in a comparison between Skyrim, Fallout 4, and Starfield after it releases. Also the “It just works” quote comes from Fallout 4 talking about the settlement builder. I don’t know what claims they made about FO76 since I wasn’t interested in it but I doubt he would use the same phrase again after it backfired so bad (and I also can’t find any evidence he did say it for FO76). So no, Todd did not “literally say” it just works. In fact for FO76 he said “sometimes it just doesn’t work”.

Are you arguing against it? Has anyone actually done an in-depth analysis to prove that the games are not getting less buggy? I know Bethsda has a vested interest in us thinking it’s true but without any evidence I’d trust them over random people on the internet.

Eh I see no reason to have support discussions in Lemmy. Leave Lemmy for promotions, updates, and sharing content.

Bethesda jank is what brought us the Giant Space Program in Skyrim so I’m definitely fine with some jank. They’ve also said it’s the least buggy Bethesda game they’ve made. It feels like you’re just picking bad points to shit on the game.
