      @@Sabamika1 With the amount of money Skyrim and Fallout 4 made, one comericial flop probably wont make too big of a dent in their cash reserves even if it was a loss of like $60000000 which it likely wasnt, fallout 76 probably still made them money, just alot less. There is also no chance Bethesda/ Zenimax would shut down Bethesda Game Studios, since that would be PR disaster. If any major studio is in danger of being shut down its BioWare, since they have released 2 badly recieved games in a row and EA owns them, who are notorious for closing underperforming studios. If Starfield is also bad, then I think BGS would be in a little trouble, but they would at least be kept around untill Elder Scrolls 6.
