038: Starfield is Alive!!!

Um, I, I, yeah, our, our episode last week, we talked about the, all the Microsoft, um,

layoffs and all that and the impact on bethesda

you know and i mean at face value if you just saw the title of the podcast or show you'd be like well starfield some people are like yeah it's dead yeah it's dead and other people were like no it's not dead rowdy is it's not dead because it's a single player game we're gonna be able to play forever so single player that was our

whole can't die that was the whole point of last week's video was that It's a single-player game.

I can play it whenever I want.

It's never going to be dead.

Well, and then how people will take – they took the Microsoft announcement of all the layoffs and firings and automatically assumed that meant Starfield was not going to receive any new content.

No more support.

It was just going to wither on the vine and...

And die.

Yeah, Bethesda would move forward.

Well, there was, to be fair, there was the interpretation based on how Microsoft and Xbox said the games they wanted Bethesda to focus on.

Now, just because they say focus on doesn't mean they're not going to do anything for any of the other games.

Right.

That's what we said last week.

If I'm mowing the lawn, it doesn't mean I'm not going to come back and do the dishes.

I'm just focused on mowing the lawn.

Exactly.

And then one data point we didn't think to cover was hiring.

Just because they laid off 4,800 employees doesn't mean – They're not going to rehire because a lot of times when you have a company do top to bottom structure change, they're going to come in and hire new blood, new

talent.

And it's a way to renegotiate somebody's contract when you're trying to get rid of some bloat.

Like we had talked about the one lady that had been there for 27 years, right?

Yeah.

Yeah.
