I have noticed a recent slow down of angry posts on the net, not counting forum threads, about the Skyrim issues on the PS3.
AC3 is coming out, quick on the heels of Borderlands 2, a new Grand Theft Auto game is coming soon, not to mention the holidays are coming up. I'm sure there will be enough new releases to keep the PS3 community busy. Aren't we supposed to be getting a few of those "wash, rinse, repeat" wartime FPS games? Call of Modern Warfare Duty Big Gun Sniper Shot Grenade Boom: Kill the Newbs Then Laugh at Them Edition or something?
I think Bethesda is just playing the waiting game and hoping people forget about Skyrim. Stall long enough and, in theory, the rage will subside and people will forget about the issues or get tired and bored with keeping their rage up. Bang your head against a wall enough and it's just human nature to give up after a while.
I've notice that I am more apathetic now than I used to be. Sure, I'm still extremely angry about the defects and issues with the base game, a little angry about the lack of DLC, but I'm starting to realize that Bethesda simply doesn't care about the PS3 community. If they did, then they would have learned years ago that an Xbox 360 port will not work. Well, the only thing I can do is care about Bethesda as much as they care about me. That just means I will always be "working on" buying one of their games, but never actually do it. My wallet will have moved on to other projects, completely ignoring anything with the Bethesda name on it. I will say that I understand the frustration Bethesda is experiencing over the lack of PS3 sales while taking a game from another company to the checkout counter. Either that, or I will shove a Macintosh user with $5 at them and say, "Here, this will work just as well as a PS3 sale."
Don't worry, I will still stand right beside the rest of the PS3 community on these boards and side with them in any action they take against Bethesda. I'm just wanting to be done with being angry at a company that just doesn't care and is more worried about damage control and saving face for the media than they are their paying customers.
