Beyond the fact that people getting laid off was bad obviously, it has been incredibly annoying to see gamers act as if Bethesda employees deserved it for "doing nothing for 15 years" despite them releasing multiple major releases during that time, including a brand new game that wasn't a part of their established franchises, with pretty standard development times of 3-4 years with the exception of Starfield which took longer for multiple understandable reasons. But since some of them didn't like or don't play Starfield or 76 they decided that the lay offs are awesome actually, and that ESO devs being gutted is also good despite them also actively clamoring for more Fallout and Elder Scrolls. Nevermind the fact that among the people laid off there were multiple TESVI developers, including Bethesda veterans who designed iconic parts of the series, but so many are just defending it as "Bethesda needing a push" and mocking employees being upset that the studio with one of the highest retention rates suddenly having their coworkers laid off without warning. Also the fact that so many gamers also seem to believe that the next elder scrolls will be trash anyways and "low quality and unfinished like Starfield" despite that game being the least buggy game Bethesda has released and it including mechanics that had been requested by people for years, but people just ignore that and still claim that Bethesda has just been "simplifying their games" still and demanding that more people be fired. Gamers are some of the most annoying and entitled people on earth.
