When Kingdom Come Deliverance started to be made they were a studio of 11 people. They're only a couple hundred now and not all of those are devs and somehow were getting 3 KCD games in 7 years and a LOTR rpg in the works on top of it. Yet somehow were going to have nearly two decade gaps between Elder Scrolls 5 and 6 and Fallout 4 and 5. Bethesda is almost three times the size of Warhorse not including the other studios they have and the studios they outsource work to like Virtuous with the Oblivion Remaster. What are they even doing with their time and money because they sure aren't using it to make good games?

They said there's no Sims 5 in development and that they're just going to keep supporting Sims 4 DLC because why not. It's cheaper for them to make DLC for the existing game and people buy almost everything they put out for it. Lowest effort for maximum profits. These companies only exist to make profits, not to make games.

Not sure a sequel is possible. The "old west" is an incredibly small bit of time in American history and they've already covered most of it. That and it wasn't that interesting so I'm not sure where they would go in narrative terms. Not every franchise needs to go on forever. There are a thousand historical eras I'd love to see Rockstar cover. The old west really is just a tiny blip in history. How about a Rockstar rpg set during the hundred years war, or one in a mythical ancient China.

Time based missions is a non starter for me. I want to explore a world, not be rushed through it and I don't give a single F about the multiplayer aspect. I'll ignore it as always.

I hate this limited time live service garbage. I'm specifically not gonna touch the game until it's over. Just make a good game, let us play it and respect our time. It isn't hard.

I don't care about crunch in gaming. Every major industry has it and sometimes it's necessary. I worked in the restaurant industry and the hours these "poor" game devs have to work sometimes makes us all laugh. That's just called every day for us. As long as they're paid for their work they either can stop complaining or find a different career.
