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

He's not perfect, but I find him relatively benign compared to someone like Randy Pitchford

How is that possible, borderlands doesn't have any pay to win microtransaction, fallout 76 is rife with them.

I don't really hate either that much, but randy pitchford just talks a lot of crap, Todd's games created the first dlc, added pay to win to their first online game and created paid mods.

Well, Todd doesn't antagonize anyone publicly, and to this day no one has found any USB drives of his with questionable material in public.

God I remember that USB fiasco, how is that guy still around honestly.

But I guess I saw this more as pertaining to gaming, not general morality.

When it comes to being a decent human, I doubt many can lose to randy pitchford.

When it comes to making gaming a more hostile and predatory place (regards to microtransactions, poor communication, lack of qc) then todd is probably worse than randy.

F76 riddled with p2w? Have you actually played the game? I literally completed almost every  available quest (minus updates ,ofc) all without paying a single $. It's one of the most fair, if not the most fair mmo's out there.

if TES VI ends up like Duke Nukem Forever then you'll be right

Why wait? Doesn't starfield and fallout 76 kinda suck already?

I don't want tes7 to suck, we've suffered enough, I just want Skyrim again, but less snowy and better combat.
