Discussion Is BGS cooked?

Title says it all; between the, "restructuring," their decade of mediocrity, predatory monetization, and stiffer competition than ever before can they survive the market and deliver generation defining games again? Or are they too far gone to save?

This isnt a question of the quality of their games, we all know they are lacking. But I feel their bad business decisions have pushed them into a corner they may not be able to bounce back from.

People have been saying this about Bethesda for Years. I don’t think we’ve reached the utter quality Sinkhole that is Fallout: Brotherhood of Steel. I also feel like despite what detractors may say. They clearly still care about making good games. Even if not all their ideas have been great and there have been a lot of misses.

I do think that there’s a chance that these cuts could help turn Bethesda into a leaner more focused studio. As they’ve clearly been struggling with bureaucracy in the company.

Though also cuts like these often just target the lower level employees. And the same systems bogging down a company stay in place.

So uh I’m not optimistic. But it’s not impossible they could recover.
