Bethesda Softworks - New Fan Petition

by Couchpotato, 2014-07-04 04:20:42

I found news of a new fan petition from a fan of Bethesda’s games who is asking the publisher to release their earlier games for free on Steam.

AG: Why do you think Bethesda should listen to your request to release the earlier games for free?

CY: Because it's the 20th Anniversary of The Elder Scrolls, something which Bethesda is best known for. It's pretty obvious that they aren't getting profit from those first four games, and I generally think that Bethesda should give it to the fans instead of leaving such goodness to waste somewhere.

AG: What is it about the earlier Elder Scrolls games that you think fans of the newer titles will enjoy?

CY: I think they'll love the chance to get back to the roots of The Elder Scrolls, and it gives them a chance to learn how such a massive and amazingly built RPG started.

AG: And finally, if your petition is a success, what kind of content do you think the modding community would/should add to these games?

CY: I'd love to see "HD" versions/bugfixes, etc. of the games and/or extra stuff, items, tools, etc.

AG: Thanks again for your time, and good luck with the petition.

To some of you this may seem like a bold request, but I say ‘why not, eh?’ It’s worth a shot, and crazier things have happened. And like Christopher said, it would be interesting to see what modders could bring to the earlier games, like new items, tools and weapons - we've all seen the amazing and crazy things the Skyrim Steam Workshop has brought. So, if you’re a fan of The Elder Scrolls games and want give Christopher’s petition the best chance of succeeding, head on over to the Change.org petition page and add your name to the list.

So will he succeed or not? Share your opinion in the comment section.
