The Axis Unseen free demo: https://store.steampowered.com/app/1807810/The_Axis_Unseen/

It took about 3.5 years, but now it's actually coming out in less than two weeks. I'm really excited to see what people think of it and it has been cool watching streamers react to the demo. Somehow my two story tall tree guy is really good at sneaking up on people. :D

Starfield. Active development started 9 years ago.

Meaning the last 6 years of his career there were on starfield, which he wasn't a manager of, if he quit 3 years ago.

This feels like a standard toxic gaming community thread where dismissing someone's achievements is for some reason fair game.

Dude held a job at a huge publisher for 14 years, then quit and developed his own thing.

Good on him!

You're missing that he quit during the development of that crappy game, which gives him extra points for judgement.

To address your point of toxicity, I didn't get the impression. In fact it's the first thing that popped into my mind as well.

Bethesdas reputation is just that tarnished.

Yeah I dunno. Journalist who worked at cnn 20 years quits to make own newspaper wouldn't do it for me either

Flip the conversation. What WOULD show a level of experience that equated to quality to you?

Journalism on CNN is alright, it's the political commentors that have been bought.

Mashing x to doubt...

That timeline was trotted out to make it sound pre no man's sky during marketing. Inside sources had it's real development time as way shorter, hence it's so terrible even for a Bethesda game

That... Still doesn't feel like a positive thing to mention.
