Actually, to be fair even, I would say that in that graph you drew on paint, the content is actually going down instead of being horizontal. Too, the only real game I've actually followed is the Fallout series. The actual content of 76, and we're even talking about the graphics, has gone down markedly. NPC and dialogue has been offset with interaction with holotapes. This offsets the wonderful background graphics by a wide margin when you add to it that they completely converted the genre of the game to that of GOW or COD. In fact, I think that they actually took from those games player base and that now, they are the only players talking good about the new FO76. It's because it's closer to a game that they are more familiar with. The FO series base group has noticed the radical change and not liked it and now Bethesda is only experiencing a gaming base that just doesn't like the style that they thought that was going to be a popular thing. That's the problem with evolution of anything. Sometimes it works for a few things but on the whole, you experience an extinction. Look at the Ice Age. many more species died off than survived it. So now Bethesda has to make a choice(which they don't want to), either cater to their old player base or their new player base. They stick with their old and they sacrifice the new breed of gamer which will play and no doubt support them. But only until they get tired of FO when the new COD or GOW airs. From a business aspect, they could have gone way smaller for a version of GOW or COD with FO76 and gone with the larger scale version as FO5. The smaller FO76 would have suited those players with their version of PVP gameplay with a Fallout skin while the base players that comprise their fan base could have gotten what they wanted. Now with all the controversy..,.they're kinda fucked truth be told.
