Read the article carefully though, it's mostly trying to be inflammatory. It seems ideas outside of what Bethesda usually does end up having to go through Todd because he is good at putting himself in the end user's shoes even if he doesn't want to be the guy with the final say in everything.

- Starfield
- Baldurs Gate 3
- Remnant 2

- Lies of P
- Alan Wake 2
- Laika: Aged through Blood

He just seems to be interested in maintaining a successful business instead of squeezing more money out of people constantly.
