Fuck you, Bethesda

[Drakortha]

First of all, I want to say Fuck you for featuring my Fallout machinima on your official blog back in 08, but then had the audacity to tell me I couldn't monetize it on Youtube.

Secondly Fuck you for never even so much as giving me a job interview for all those times I applied for level design / cinematic open positions at Bethesda. I would have moved to the USA and worked crunch hours, and I would have been ambitious and would have made a good project lead. I'm not talking out of my ass here - you passed on someone who had genuine talent and interest in Fallout and wanted to do the work.

Thirdly, Fuck you Obsidian for acknowledging that shitty Nuka Break Youtube series with easter eggs in Fallout New Vegas, but I never so much as got a reference in any Fallout game for my work on Youtube, which was infinitely more inspired and not some commercialized Nuka Cola & nuFallout merch advertisement disguised as a fan series.

Fourthly, fuck you for becoming so damn shit at making games in subsequent years that I would no longer want to make any kind of fan works of your games and I certainly would never want to work for you. That time has long passed and I'm eternally going to be bitter over the fact you had a great thing in your hands (Fallout) and you totally fucked up. At least I can sleep at night knowing I had nothing to do with it.

Empty words. You will buy Fallout 5 anyway, like the good cattle you are.

Is this a song?

Empty words.

Stop posting for tonight you drunk shit.

(This really needs to be added to the smilies)

There's nothing more sweet than modder butthurt.

Some might say that simp chatmod butthutt is, but it's just the exact same thing, only they simp for a company hoping to get in with it and not a woman.

So this is why he hates them so much. A lover, scorned.

 

[mondblut]

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

Should've recognized that Tactics was the last Fallout game.

 

[HoboForEternity]

Gee, i wonder why they wouldnt give you their time of day for that interview

 

[None]

Why are you always so angry?

 

[Lonely Vazdru]

I'm not talking out of my ass here

No, of course not.

 

[Jaesun]

This thread has great potential.

 

[Modron]

Why are you always so angry?

Why are you always so happy?

 

[None]

Why are you always so angry?

Why are you always so happy?

Because it never took me several decades to realize I wouldn't want to work at Bethesda.

 

[Fargus]

I knew your nickname looked familiar. You are that dude who made DC chronicles 14-something years ago.

 

[Taxnomore]

I hear Bioware is hiring.

- you passed on someone who had genuine talent and interest in Fallout and wanted to do the work.

They passed on offers from some of the original Fallout developers.

It was even admitted that they used [some] developers who had never played the series; some had never heard of it before.

Post links to video. And feet.

Todd was obviously reluctant to hire anybody who knew Fallout and had any passionate for it, as it could have potentially sidelined his and his friends Pete & Emil's shitty narrative ideas.

Edit:

Actually I take that back. The narrative behind their games isn't even the worst thing about Fallout 4 and 76. It's the entire tone of it all. They turned Fallout into a complete circus, thematically. Watching trailers on Youtube for 76 was like watching a train derail off a cliff in real time. And the Fallout tv show was the train finally hitting the ground 100ft below in a valley filled with shit.

For some reason watching them fuck up Starfield triggers me even more, and it's why I made this thread. Like it wasn't enough that they fucked Fallout so they're now rolling around in their own fecal matter.

 

[Losus4]

Not one word of that autistic prattle is going to stop me from making another Oblivion khajiit so you may as well stop now.

 

[Drowed]

The anger makes you stronger, your walls of text longer, your level higher, and your intestines looser.

It's a fun machinima from a different time.

I've hired a lot of folks in my day, and I'll say this: maybe, just maybe, they didn't want to waste their time not only training you to code up to Bethesda standards, but they'd have to waste their time training you to think like an American. Coming from a country with no freedom and no guns, you probably think that eventually good things to will come your way or whenever the government decides to let you shine. That's not how it works!

You grab the world by the balls! You do what Cleve did and move to the US, buy a gun, work out, and between reps make the worlds greatest RPG! You don't wait for the Bethesda's of the world to save you - they can't - Bethesda's too busy making the next blockbuster! Rely on yourself! Move to the US, buy a gun, make those levels!
