as of late
They've been milking their games for at least the last 15 years. Skyrim came out in 2011. How many versions of it have been released now?

It's not just the re-releases, it's the micro updates. They patch one thing or add some new paid content and break code that hadn't changed in years for no reason
Disable automatic updates please.
Steam does not allow it.
There are ways to do it... for example by setting the appmanifest to read-only. You can also download old versions through steam console.
That's not lately, I stopped playing years ago because of it.
My problem with Bethesda Game Studio games is that I am convinced that I love them, when I really don’t. The truth is I have always struggled to finish anything Bethesda Game Studio has made.
I bought Starfield when it hit PS5. I thought for sure the in the 2+ years since release they’d have time to work out the kinks from launch, like No Man’s Sky did. I’ve played maybe four hours, but driving the moon buggy causes the game to crash every time, and there hasn’t been a fix in months. I think it’s over for Bethesda and me, for good this time.
Thank you Todd "I only play barbarians" Howard.
I didnt know that, thats awesome!
Their apparent bait-and-switch on fallout 76 goods, constantly releasing incomplete products, greed, and a host of other issues made me stop giving them money. I was a paying ESO member when the fallout 76 stuff was happening and that was the last straw for me; no more money for them until they have a proven track record.
Bethesda is the wests shit stain while Square Enix is the easts shit stain.
Starfield is where the studio died for me, and it's not because it was a bad game. It's actually nothing to do with Starfield directly, but more that I realized they just don't know how to make any other type of game, and the world has left them behind.
Skyrim came and went, and then Fallout 4, which was great, but then you got the Witcher 3, and Red Dead 2, and the bar has been raised for open world RPGs. It's not that Bethesda is bad, it's that they haven't modernized their gameplay or engines.
Starfield had a great idea, but they couldn't execute on it. 16 loading screens to jump between planets, annoying clunky animations, the game felt like it came out in 2013, not 2023. Even if ES6 came out next year I wouldn't trust it simply because I don't think they know how to make a modern RPG anymore.
