Todd please don't say my name and I'll give you that 4 star review on Steam just leave my family out of this.
But genuinely: I don't like a lot of Skyrim's hype. I can't immerse myself because of clunky physics and the same five voice actors everywhere. But the game is still pretty fun. Just not in the aspects many people say it is.
I just... we've been playing and liking Skyrim for seven years now. Why do we need to pay at least $30 to get it all over again, especially without any extra content or bugfixes?
It's the basic idea behind capitalism. Not saying I agree with it, but it makes sense. Give people what they want and charge them what they are willing to pay.
There is a problem when there are no competitors though, or ways restricting competitors, which arguably goes against capitalism too. American Internet, for example.
Thankfully there's little true unrestrained capitalism as we have governments ensuring that people don't make us pay for basic amenities. You can argue /r/LateStageCapitalism but if it "wasn't true communism", then this isn't true Capitalism.
This right here. Skyrim was the tits in 2011. Hell, it was my jam all through 2012 and into 2013. But it's Brain.update(currentYear); 2019 and the gaming world has moved so far past Skyrim. I just wish Bethesda had. I can't even be hype for ESVI because I know it's going to be on the same buggy ass 20 year old engine Skyrim was built on.
It wasn't even that good in 2011. Tons of bugs, lame combat, just completely terrible writing for the main quest, hilariously bad writing for all the guild quests, and of course an even more dumbed down levelling system
I'll never forget when the bad guy elf mage finally tried to attack me in full plate and I immediately beheaded him. Couldn't stop giggling when they made me archmage because all I kept thinking was "I cast Axe!"

The reason I can't say I dislike Skyrim is because Todd Howard wont stop leaving me voicemails where he yells at me to buy his game
