"And this is something that should have happened years before and almost did. And so I think that's the other frustrating part here is that, and you could maybe lay this at the feet of the previous leadership at Xbox, that they should have navigated whatever sticky personal political situation, you know, the story was that BGS wanted to be the person, the people making the next Fallout thing and didn't want some other company making it, even if that other company was Obsidian, and in fact maybe because that other company was a city and and because what Obsidian has done with Fallout was so, so beloved. And I don't know that that was the story that I heard a few different times. And so the idea that like they didn't step in and go like, all right, look, let's be grownups here. You guys are going to spend the next billion years working on Elder Scrolls after you finished up Starfield. It only makes sense for us to have Obsidian make another thing that they would be really good at making. Let's have them do a Fallout game. Like this should have been coming out now, not being, you know, just a break glass ripcord emergency."
