Has it occurred to you that the world doesn't revolve around your console of choice. Despite what you may think most developers don't have a deep understanding of the PS3s architecture. Basically they have settled on a sort of compromise where they don't have to put up with its ass backwards nature. Instead they license middle ware to handle the grunt work. It is easy to license a game engine, and build on top of that.

Bethesda however doesn't do that. Maybe they want to get the most out of the machines, or maybe they want to do things that no existing engines support. Whatever the reason they are doing all of the work themselves. If you think it is easy you would be dead wrong. Even Epic which is probably the premiere engine developer had major delays in getting the Unreal engine to work on the PS3. If it was so hard for them. Then just imagine how hard it has to be for Bethesda.

You should be thankful that they bother, and you should be impressed by what they have accomplished. Having a hard time with real tricky hardware isn't a crime, and nobody should be shaming them for that. I for one support Bethesda, and their proprietary engine. I suspect that is part of why their games play and feel so vivid for the lack of a better word.

If losing that is what it takes for the PS3 to handle their games. Then I for one don't want them putting games out on the PS3. There is no reason that the PS3 should be hurting my gaming period end of story. I am not the one that made the wrong choice. That is your problem so deal with it.

THE world doesnt revolve around my console but MY world certainly does. Since I own only the 1 console, of course everything I play and do is gonna be coloured by that (I mean duh). I understand that the ps3 is a real pain to develop for. I still dont see how they release a game with a game-breaking bug. You see a lot of bugs in games but not ones that actually stop people playing like that. You cant tell me that Bethesda found the ps3 so tough that they missed such a huge bug or even worse found it but couldnt do anything about it (from what i understand Skyrim is working fine now due to the patches). All you are doing is making shoddy excuses for incompetence. 

On the other hand, it is good to see that Bethesda are trying to get it right with the expansion pack and taking the time, and Im glad to hear that sony are trying to help.
