Bethesda Memes

Ah, the classic Bethesda development strategy: drowning in a pool of unfinished games while excitedly reaching for the shiny new project! Nothing says "we'll fix those bugs eventually" like abandoning ship to work on Skyrim's 47th re-release. Meanwhile, fans of Fallout 76 are still underwater waiting for that game to become playable. The real survival game is being a Bethesda fan hoping your favorite title gets patched before the heat death of the universe.

Ah, the ultimate fingerprint for identifying stolen code—identical bugs! Bethesda didn't just catch Warner copying their code; they caught them copying their exact same bugs . It's like a thief stealing your car but forgetting to fix the broken radio that plays nothing but Kenny G at full volume. The irony is chef's-kiss perfect: Bethesda, a company notorious for shipping games with more bugs than features, using those very bugs as evidence in a lawsuit. "Your Honor, we can prove they stole our code because their game is just as broken as ours, in exactly the same ways!" It's like the digital equivalent of finding your missing sock in your neighbor's laundry—except the sock still has that weird hole you never got around to fixing.

Skyrim's dungeon design logic is peak software engineering. Spend months crafting an intricate, thousand-year-old, cobweb-filled dungeon where no living soul has ventured for centuries... then casually place perfectly fresh apples on tables like they were dropped there yesterday. It's basically the gaming equivalent of finding commented-out code from 2005 that somehow still works in production. Nobody knows why it's there, nobody dares remove it, and honestly, your character is just grateful for the health boost.

Vatican City getting new leadership faster than Bethesda releases Elder Scrolls VI. At this rate, we'll have gone through an entire papal conclave, several holy years, and possibly the second coming before gamers get to see Tamriel again. The development cycle is so long that "Skyrim: Extremely Special Edition" will probably be released for smart refrigerators and quantum computers first.

BETHESDA STUDIOS, I'M BEGGING YOU! Stop re-releasing Skyrim and give us a new Elder Scrolls already! The audacity of rejecting a new game (TES VI) to instead milk every last septim out of Skyrim (14 years old) and now they're digging up MORROWIND (20 years old)!? I've bought Skyrim on more platforms than I've had relationships! At this point, Todd Howard could sell me a sweet roll in real life and I'd probably buy that too. THE HORSE ARMOR WAS JUST THE BEGINNING OF THE MADNESS!
