But it's entirely true, popularity gives a creator way more leeway to get worse because the LCD doesn't give a shit. Not to mention the suits that are attracted to popularity, they take pleasure in ruining things. Then there is the fact that too many normies will ruin whatever culture exists besides the direct product.

Not that it matters for Bethesda, pretty sure they literally couldn't get worse at this point without falling through completely. They are the suits that ruined lefey's work!
