I guess we should all just drop key devs from Nintendo and Sony too right?. If Todd's doesnt want to step aside why should he and who is MS to tell him to?.

This is like Saying if Miyamoto didnt want to hand Zelda or whatever over to some  else he should be forced to since a few fans feel say his next Zelda game wasnt what they wanted, but everyone else was loving it way more people than the few who is complaining on a gaming form.

Ms are doing a good thing by allowing their devs to do what they want under their own leadership like they always have had. When Ms used to step in in the past people used to complain look at rare. Now people are complaing since Ms are not stepping in more and getting rid of key stafff from their studios?. Imagine the back lash if ms got rid of Todd.

I'm not saying he should step aside but like Miyamoto there comes a time where you need to delegate mentor and groom successors,btw Zelda seems to be doing well and in Bethesda's case the over reliance on a few key people sees some of their prime IPs languishing and MS and Bethesda need to address that problem because at the end of the day it isn't good from a production pipeline or roi sense to have some of your biggest games sitting in a queue.   

So what do you think the backlash would be if MS made Todd step away?. To you you might think the quality is going down but for me Starfield is the best game Beth has made in years so its all subjective. Also we dont know if Todd isnt teaching someone to step in for him.

Edit i do agree with you that they should allow some others to work on some of the ips too. But like i said we also dont know if that will be the case its still early days.
