What really gets me about the bottle is how insanely bulky it is due to the plastic shell compared to the amount of liquid actually inside the bottle.
I'm not sure you'd even be allowed to sell that in Germany in a store since the size of the bottle suggests a far larger amount of rum than there actually is.
And it looks cheap as fuck in the videos and photos, so what chance does it have once you hold it in your hands?
It tasting like paint thinner with artificial coconut flavour is just icing on the cake.
Either way, I like to imagine some poor sod at Bethesda working on ES6 frantically going through ancient Rolodexes and phone lists, yanking out a piece of paper, dashing to the phone and after finally getting through to the other person - bullets of sweat running down his face - sputtering "Y-yeah... this is James from Bethesda, head programmer for the next Elder Scrolls, you worked for our company in the... geez... 90s... and... you know. When you wrote part of the engine, you made a comment in the code about a bug, do you remember whether there was a solution to it later on? Are you still there? Hello? He-
Hello?"
While I would like to see Bethesda punished for this, it would be a shame to see both the Elder Scrolls series and the Fallout series die with the company.
IPs like that don't die, they might be on hiatus at worst.
And given how shitty the products turned out that Bethesda is making, a hiatus and a change of IP holders might not even be that bad tbh.
I mean, when there's a choice between shitty games that tarnish the reputation and drag it into wrong directions vs. no games at all, I would pick the latter in a heartbeat.
And who knows, maybe someone picks up the IP who knows how to programm in an engine that doesn't suck shit through a straw.
