Phillip is probably pulling his hair out looking at the money on the table, trying to convince Todd to ease up on developing everything all under one roof, Lmao. Be like "Todd! Please! Just think of how much money Fallout 5 and Elder Scrolls could make us! We need them to release faster!"

It's the same story with Bioware though, they tried to give someone else a shot at Mass Effect but fucked it so bad it resulted in that studio (Montreal) being closed and now Mass Effect/Dragon Age are back under one roof (Edmonton) and we can't get Mass Effect until frigging Dragon Age is out and they've barely started on Mass Effect because Dragon Age is still deep in development. Even so, Bioware is bigger than Bethesda Game Studios.

Same story with Rockstar, Red Dead Redemption 2's development was so rough that they eventually brought everyone under one team again and now Rockstar North leads them both. What is it with developers and being unable to hand their IPs over to a capable team other than the core team? Lol. In an ideal world, we'd have one Bethesda studio focused on Elder Scrolls, one focused on Starfield and one focused on Fallout.

I don't understand how you can find an external developer to create a great spinoff but struggle with having an internal sister studio lead a project, Lol.
