So what do Bethesda employees do exactly when they come to our little PS3 subsection? Do they answer our questions? Do they post information about what's going on or how this all came about? Well why not look for yourself at what Gruddike (A QA tester btw) did when he was in our area. He spent his entire time in one thread while here. Guess which one?

Does it really matter what topic a developer was looking at?

The developers have probably been told not to talk to us about any of this and to leave it all to the PR team, it could cause problems if one of them say the wrong thing.

Are you kidding me? That's a quality assurance person on the Bethesda team and he only cared about reading how people were going to vote for Skyrim's Game of the year chances. If that doesn't piss you off you have no soul.

How do you know that? He viewed a thread, that doesn't mean anything.

How do I know what? That he's Q&A, it says on his profile as well as indicting it with a special color coding for his username. How do I know he was lurking the GOTY thread? Look at the screencap, it's clear in the picture. I'm not sure what you're asking me here. Remember this is the technical support section, out of all the threads to browse it's the "Will you vote for them or not" thread that he lurks. Dude, come on.

Just because he looked at that thread, that doesn't mean that he doesn't care about anything else.

There are several who come and scan and read many threads (I've seen them mostly in threads that collect bug reports and issues and those that are trying to offer solutions. They come and gather information about what the most frequently reported problems are and they provide it to the devs who use it to try and duplicate the problem, find solutions and fix it for future patches.

Just because you happen by when they are in one thread and they leave to visit another hardware section or to go potty or to an information sharing meeting or even to pick their kids up from school doesn't mean that is the only thread they read.

Come on, that's just silly to even suggest I think.

You're the worst dude. Give it a rest. Do you ever take a break from these forums? You know, do you have a job or anything like that? Or is your job making stupid comments _all_day_long_ born out of your overreaction to a buggy videogame?
