| TallSilhouette said: Yeah, that was a dick move by Bethesda. Not like they had an announced release date they needed to stick to or didn't know when Clair was coming out... Hopefully CO is still the breakout success it seemingly deserves to be. |
I half think it's an odd strategy by Bethesda and MS in general. GP wasn't lacking launches this month, with South of Midnight, Blue Prince and this to name a few. Bethesda themselves have Doom releasing in what? 3 weeks? I'd say people buying Oblivion might even be put off buying Doom too, as people have limited time and Oblivion is a big game.
Also, MS and especially Bethesda have limited games for the rest of the year. Besthesda have no more titles and MS have maybe 1 big announced one (Outer Worlds 2, unless I'm missing anything else?).
Unless they plan to do this "stealth" release more often but that will only really work with things like existing titles, remaster or remakes. No one cares about a stealth release for a new franchise title.
Hmm, pie.
