It's a known and generally agreed upon fact that Bethesda releases batches of game breaking bugs for its customers to QA for them, then releases patches a month after release. This is the reason my brother (a Bethesda diehard) won't invest in their games until the first patch hits.

 

So when this guy implies he doesn't have an respect for them currently, I can see where he's coming from. You are right, though- they've only gotten better at it, and having respect for them prior just doesn't make any sense. This guy is really inconsistent, and it doesn't do much for his credibility.

Which is pretty much my point.  If someone doesn't like Bethesda games, that's perfectly fine.  They've stuck with an old engine with tons of issues despite pulling in crazy money.  There are some good reasons  for that but, obviously, there are also good reasons against.  Either way, everyone has the right to pass on their games if they don't like it.  No one has the right to tell others what they should do with their money, however.

The same with Bethesda's new policy.  Both sides have an argument.  People can like it or not like it.  When you have videos like this, though, it kind of highlights why many people have a cynical attitude toward the gaming media in general.

Yes, I was agreeing with you. That's why I bolded that part :D
