Fire Todd Howard

The Issue

It has been over 7 years since The Elder Scrolls VI was even teased. And just this year, he announced its still a long ways off. 

His mismanagement and over-promises for over a decade have destroyed any good will players feel towards Bethesda. Skyrim and Fallout 4 both largely abandoned the RPG elements that made the respective series so popular in the first place. 

Fallout 76 launched to abysmal reviews and a massive lack of content for players. Its pre-order bonuses were essentially a scam. 

Starfield was the worst game the company has ever released. 

The company now depends on user-created mods to fix broken games and add much-needed content. 

Rather than focus on TES VI or even Fallout 5, we received a broken sloppy mess of a Fallout 4 decade anniversary addition that only added creation club content that was largely already owned by a majority of its players. 

It has become abundantly clear over the past decade that Todd Howard is not the right person to lead such beloved franchises into the future. For the sake of these franchises, Bethesda, and their loyal fans, it is past time that Bethesda part ways with Todd Howard. 

Please join me in petitioning to have Todd Howard relieved of his duties with Bethesda. Our beloved franchises deserve to flourish, and that simply can not happen under Todd Howard's poor leadership.
