Is this like a "The Onion" kind of website? I really hope not because this was an amazing read but it all sounds so unbelievably goofy. Todd Howard is unbelievably goofy though which makes me confused even more if this is real or not.

It's like a nerdy Onion, yeah. I recommend checking their stuff out. They're just as good as the original

Absolutely amazing. But my head canon is still going to be that this is real.

I've been watching mythic quest and now I just picture its Todd being played by mac

Onion type sites should really have a tag in the OP, cause not everyone knows all those sites.. I never heard of this one until right now. and since most people don't read the article, just take off running from the title.. Definitely need some kind of tag or [Onion] in the title or something.

That's literally the mechanism by which satire works?

Adding a tag removes that which makes satire... satire.

Dude.

Do you not realize the world we live in now? That we've been in for over a decade?

Satire is dead.

Real news is almost always more ridiculous than anything satirist can cook up anymore.

When you consider how bethesda was actually and frantically replying to negative reviews or their position on the criticism of starfield, This news article doesnt actually stand out as outlandish or unrealistic.

I've seen so much Michael Scott qualities in this man. It's hard not to like him, but it's also harder not to make memes out of him

Truly Godd Howard

I find it harder to believe this guy even knows how to use Steam.

Half the commenters under this post have clearly not read the article.
