      @@Sabamika1 With the amount of money Skyrim and Fallout 4 made, one comericial flop probably wont make too big of a dent in their cash reserves even if it was a loss of like $60000000 which it likely wasnt, fallout 76 probably still made them money, just alot less. There is also no chance Bethesda/ Zenimax would shut down Bethesda Game Studios, since that would be PR disaster. If any major studio is in danger of being shut down its BioWare, since they have released 2 badly recieved games in a row and EA owns them, who are notorious for closing underperforming studios. If Starfield is also bad, then I think BGS would be in a little trouble, but they would at least be kept around untill Elder Scrolls 6.

    He's not the man behind the Elder Scrolls series and the Fallout series. Both were created by different people. Todd has simple been making games for both IPs in the past years, but he didn't create any of them.
