    I think my view still stands, without bathesda that series would have ended with that weird ass “fallout: bos” for PS2. If it hadn’t been bought by bathesda, we would have no fallout 3, 4 or even NV. Cause as much as people claim it isn’t, NV uses the bones and parameters of fo3, just builds on it. We also wouldn’t have gotten the show, which was great

      You imagine Bethesda was the sole bidder on the IP, but this isn’t the case. But for their shrewdness, the series would have survived just fine.

        Do you have some insider knowledge about other companies that bid on the rights or?

        From what I can find online, there’s not much out there aside from Activision, which… Lmao

          No, not them. I’m trying to figure out what interview I read about this. Pardon my source amnesia, I’ll write back if it comes to me.
