I will come back to this post in September to see if I was right lol

Biggest concerning signs:

30 FPS lock on xbox, there's no way to spin that positively, absolute fail
Predatory pre-order bonus skins to get people to buy before they know what they're actually going to experience (buggy shitshow)
Countless attempts to hype up the game and huge random assurances from the devs
Preemptively admitting the game has jank and trying to make it seem okay lol

At least the bugs will be absolutely hilarious I think.

Fallout 76 is only the most recent, they've been like this since... I guess a little after morrowind? As an early adopter of tes (saved my sheckels to buy arena after reading a PC gamer review, did not regret), I was sad to see them go to shit, but to shit they went and it was not recent.

Man i was there for the older elder scrolls games. Same exact thing minus the internet hype because there was no internet. But they always hyped their games beyond anything reasonable and the end product was a buggy mess. They called daggerfall "buggerfall" back in the day for a reason.

It is now 30 years of continuous lies and people are still believing it.
