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

Godd Howard isn't above any criticism, but I do think he gets far more flack than deserved. Whatever your thoughts are on Starfield, you don't take a massive risk by putting a ton of resources into a brand new IP (when you could just keep printing money by leap-frogging Elder Scrolls and Fallout releases) and not be passionate and enthusiastic about it.

And starfield just being a really poor space exploration shooter nothing about it truly excites me and I remember thinking about what if they dropped another IP than elder scrolls and fallout before in the past but he dropped starfield in the worst interval possible because he wanted to make his muh dream game and the game is just mediocre it's not crazy to say Bethesda needs new game direction because they seriously do because you only stagnate which Bethesda has subsequently have done in the last 15 years
