Their working culture must be incredibly toxic to be responding like this to valid criticism.

It really explains the state of the game.

This is the same company that took a weird joke character from Morrowind - M'aiq the Liar - and added him into Oblivion solely so that he could deliver a bunch of lines that were all just thinly veiled dismissals of criticisms that were made during development and/or insults leveled at the people who made them.

This is nothing new for them.

(edit to fix annoying typo)

Yeah, gives the sense that open discussion amongst employees was heavily discouraged, and it was being led by a few people absolutely fixated on making their vision come true and making people afraid to question them even if they thought it was bad.
