    He’s right. If they’d rushed to get a game out in time for the show it would have been a piece of shit and eroded the brand.

      Plus they made a fuckton on new fo4 purchases when show released for zero additional cost. Steam had a killer sale for all the fallout games when the show released. Seems like no brainer especially because you never know if a show will be a hit. Look at Witcher, it never really caught on to the larger market outside of its already existing fans.

        Fallout 4 took 7 years to develop and still felt rushed. Exactly how far in advance do you think they knew about the show?

        These Bethesda open world games take a LONG time to make. Even if they knew it was going to be made 7 years from now, there’s no guarantee it will be good or that it won’t be shelved. It’s better to just go at your own pace.

          It’s not the open world takes them so long, it’s the expert writing and amazing animations!
