  • As a long time Bethesda game fan I agree with you on almost everything you’ve said about Bethesda… But the remaster is a terrible example of your points.

    The remaster does exactly what it says on the tin and they’ve been very upfront about how it was made and why it was made in the launch video.

    It’s hard to criticise them for cashing in on nostalgia when they’ve shown time and time again with Skyrim re-releases that do a fraction of what the Oblivion remaster does still sell like hot cakes.

    Nostalgia is at the core of their business model. That’s why they march Skyrim’s corpse out every two years like clockwork; that’s why they picked Fallout for a new franchise after ES; that’s, frankly, likely why Starfield sucks so much.
















  • Someone defined the process at some point though, and often it’s documented. I’ve worked at several banks and large financial institutions and have had plenty of people tell me “I don’t know how X works” but never “Nobody knows how X works”.

    I currently work at a bank and I’m yet to encounter anything that someone couldn’t at least send me documentation for, however apocryphal.

    The problem here is that it’s fairly clear that the post office allowed Fujitsu to both define and implement the processes such that they are not compelled to provide the blueprint for them as part of the contract and they are now held to ransom over it.

    This is the kind of colossal fuck up that heads should roll for, no less so as it is happening in the shadow of one of the biggest corruption scandals in British history.
