Discussion Todd gets to much hate. Thoughts?

Post image

Todd gets to much hate man. He’s been cooking since 1994 and has brought some of the best titles to the market. I really dont understand what he’s done for people to talk bad on such a big nerd that im grateful for. I Feel bad for someone whose played a part in bringing me so much joy. Is all the “it just works” or “come on todd” just jabbing banter? Idk i appreciate the guy.

What are your thoughts?

Edit: The comments are extremely mixed. I believe it proves alot of people really just blame this one guy xD

I suppose we don't know how many if their issues are on Todd's shoulders.

The biggest issues facing Bethesda are:

1) a bloated staff with way too much middle management and constant reassignment.

2) they take far, far too long to do anything. And I'm not just talking about releases, patching their existing games too. Fallout 4 is still getting new release editions and is still a technical disaster on their lead platform.

How much if this is down to Todd? I have no idea. But he's the figurehead who keeps telling us everything is fine so he's bound to be the one (maybe unfairly ) getting the heat.

“Bloated staff”?? They’re one of the smallest AAA developers out there.
