      Might be a thing where nobody can do Skyrim better than skyrim, y’know? It’s been released so many times and with so many damn mods that I’d imagine it’s close to impossible to close in on that market share. Why play a skyrim-lite when I can just play Skyrim?

        I get that, but at this point skyrim is over a decade old. A lot of people having been itching for a new game like it for a while, and bethesda has been focused on starfield and fallout for a while now. I’m honestly surprised no one has tried to cash in with a worthy competitor in the time that they’ve been busy
