Not many people remember the PR of old Bethesda. The truth is, back in the day Pete Hines was the one who was considered the protogenic liar in Bethesda, not Todd. Todd took lessons from him.

Two scumbags who ruined creativity in any case.

I guess the same thing will happen that happened to Bioware after Muzyka and Zechuk left (bad became worse).

 

[Spukrian]

So if Pete Hines and Todd Howard start a new studio, what would they name it?

 

[__scribbles__]

When's Emil going?

 

[PlanHex]

RIP the GOAT

First Bobby, now Pete. Feargus must be sweating. Brian isn't safe, either.

Todd also didn't have a major role back then.
Wasn't Morrowind his first major game where he was involved? He was lead director.

Good riddance.

He had a major role, Todd was project lead on Redguard too

He was in fact project lead in times when Bethesda was about to go bankrupt (during Redguard and Morrowind)

who?

 

[POOPERSCOOPER]

I never trusted Pete Hines and his smile. I always imagined he was Todd Howard's fuck buddy and gimp.

 

[The Jester]

And nothing of value was lost.

 

[agris]

ah yes, Pete "axes are blunt weapons" Hines.

Rest in pieces, scumbag.

[Baron Dupek]

He gave us some gems

 

[JarlFrank]

who?

The father of lies.

 

[PlayerEmers]

todd is next

will elder scrolls 6 be saved from a disaster if Todd leaves?

 

[Ryzer]

He gave us some gems

He isn't wrong though. Fallout was never realistic or believable to begin with.

I am afraid that this parasite got a big check when Bethesda was bought and will spend the rest of his life in luxury. Capitalism trully promotes the worst scums on Earth.

Remember, when any creative venture gets big enough, the actual creatives become faceless factory workers pumping out bland slop, while the suits become industry superstars.

I'm reminded of this post:

Haha, Starfield is delayed.

I'm hearing a bunch of interesting shit, including:

1) The place has been in turmoil since their CEO Altman died a few years ago.
2) There are company-wide issues with management, for example with Shinji Mikami leaving Tango, apparently there are major disagreements/power struggles including how to integrate with Xbox/MSFT.
3) Pete Hines was made Head of Global Publishing but nobody knows what that means exactly
4) People really phoned it in over Covid. Especially a lot of the higher ups who got paid millions when the company was acquired by MSFT (Altman took care of a lot of people, he was by all accounts a good dude). But high level employees were doing crazy shit like calling into meetings from the Caribbean properties they had bought. Just a total lack of give-a-shit
5) Todd Howard is apparently one of the only guys left over there in a senior position who actually wants to make video games.

Hopefully, Bethesda's paper rapist Emil Pagliarulo is next.
