    I respect the sentiment, so no disrespect to it; but in software, there’s often a lot of caution against throwing out too much code.

    You often find certain modules and sections of code that really should be thrown out or overhauled. If you can convince the corporation to dedicate time to doing that, it can often, but not always, show its benefits.

    Probably a lot of the popular games we still play use some old bases, but replace parts that don’t work well. I think Apex Legends is still technically using Source (HL2), they’ve just done a lot to it so it no longer looks anything like Half Life 2.

      Okay but Bethesdas engine kinda sucks and source engine is still pretty good… Why keep something if it’s not very good, other than to save money of course.

      I’m done paying anything above half off a Bethesda games since fallout 4/76 anyway, they were bad and awful.

        we’ve never seen a source game at the scale of oblivion and have object permanence so you can’t really compare the two.
