    Exactly, people forget that most of the well known engines today are as old or older than Creation Engine, they’re all patched/upgraded as it fits, though Creation Engine has no apparent version numbers and it’s made by Bethesda so you get free internet points and a feeling of superiority for hating on the popular thing.

    If you took these folks opinions as truth you’d think Bethesda games are massive flops that barely sell 10 copies and are a study case on how not to develop a game, but the real world is very different from the echo chamber…
