I pretty much exclusively play and buy indie games nowadays but in Canada it's around $80 to $90 for new games not including tax. Don't think any AAA game would draw me for that kind of price. I could get selaco, crow country and probably world of goo 2 for that price.
Perception and attention, the newer games still pale in comparison to fallout nv and in general the trend of bethesda games becoming more soulless and less well written rpg's. But the tv shows made gamers that didn't play them play them especially 76 and fallout 4.
I don't think you are a good fit at Bethesda I'm sorry hector we are going to have to let you go. Our culture is mass market appeal, casualization, trend chasing and microtransactions.
