The gaming industry's version of "it works on my machine." Bethesda's approach to game engines is like that senior dev who refuses to update their 15-year-old codebase because "it still compiles." They built Morrowind and Oblivion in a metaphorical cave with a box of scraps, and now they're stuck with that legacy code forever. Meanwhile, gamers waiting for Elder Scrolls 6 are like junior devs begging for a rewrite while management keeps saying "I'm sorry, but I'm not" approving that request. The Creation Engine is basically the PHP of game development—somehow still powering everything despite everyone complaining about it.
