Ex Bethesda Devs Speak Out, Discuss Todd Howard, Too Many Yes Men, Bureaucratic Environment, & More

According to former devs, from Fallout 4 to Starfield, Bethesda Game Studios has seen tremendous change and growth that has allowed them to scale up their ambitions but has also compromised aspects of its creative process and collaboration, the overall work environment, internal communications, and access to Todd Howard's creative leadership. Hopefully Elder Scrolls 6 will still be able to shine at launch despite all of this.

Kojima Productions Made A Real Life Death Stranding 2 Exoskeleton & I Tried It

Thank you DNSYS and Kojima Productions for sponsoring this video! You can check out the Death Stranding 2 x DNSYS Limited Edition Z1 Exoskeleton Pro by using my link: https://dada.link/S9zk2e Tomorrow Is In Your Hands. 🖐️ I didn't know a product like this even existed, and hearing that DNSYS officially partnered with Kojima Productions to make a Death Stranding version of their exoskeleton, I couldn't resist my curiosity about a device like this when I was approached with the opportunity to try it out. It's honestly pretty cool that tech like this exists. #DeathStranding2XDNSYS #DS2_DNSYS #DNSYSExoskeleton #DS2Exoskeleton
