Why was Bethesda suing interplay anyways? I thought they had a deal or something...
tb87670: After Morrowind I began hating Bethesda. I'm happy they lost out, Bethesda is going the way of Valve and ditching values for money as soon as they find an opportunity to double their money. Why are good game companies going bad left and right? Blizzard was first to fall with WoW, then Valve with L4D2, Bethesda, well, they have been slipping slowly downhill in the past 5 years or so now.
I have a theory of game-dev critical mass. As soon as a game company gets enough popularity and money and get to a certain size, X, they begin pumping out EA-Style sequels and spin-offs for pure profit over art form because when you get a taste for money it's like a fox getting a taste of eggs, they crave it the rest of their lives.
When a company reaches X and produced game sequel Y (Y=1 is first game, new series, 2 second game, 3 3rd game and so on) then we get the equation X*Y=Z Dollars. Quality is not in the equation friends, just money and sequels and money-grabs.
Ah. So activision would be a sterling example then?
