Hopefully people can stop with the "I bet Bethesda will take down skyblivion!1!!" comments now. It's very clear there's good will between modders and the devs.

I mean:

1.) It’s Bethesda’s IP

  1. The “remaster” was not just a paint job. That took a whole damn team, a very hard working team, to rebuild the game in UE5.

  2. Skyblivion will probably continue development despite it.

None of that changes or even addresses what I said in the comment you are replying to.

Yes, a corpo flex often involves throwing a ton of money and manpower at something...

Yes, Skyblivion development will probably continue... doesn't change the fact that Bethesda just did a giant corpo flex on them.

The... whole ... point of a corpo flex ... is to showcase that you have a disproportionate amount of legal and monetary power, and you can use that to humiliate upstarts, show others how insignificant they are.

Have... you never worked in a large corp? Or... studied how they make business decisions?

Have you ever worked in software development?

... never even picked the corpo background for cyberpunk 2077?
