      So many games wanted to be the next Skyrim, and so they brought over a lot of its systems and design choices. Including the bad ones.

      The flood of games going open world, reliance on mods, and marketing through memes.

        I can’t think of many games that do that. I can’t really think of anyone that tries to be like Bethesda games in the bad ways.

      People enjoy shitting on things and loudly, hyperbolicly saying that they are objectively bad and the worst thing ever. Especially Skyrim.

      It’s ok to not like the game or even hate it. Doesn’t make it objectively bad or somehow the downfall of video games.
