They've already been paid. Bethesda doesn't have profit sharing.
If the game bombs the devs will be out of a job.
Don’t try and justify piracy with that weak arse excuse, just man up and say you’re too cheap to buy the game.
Yeah, like Activision firing them after record sales...
What?

FO76 says "hi". It's a bad argument because you can't possibly know that. It's also patently untrue. Devs were already paid. Your theory is an assumption. Get better propaganda for your corporations.
I can’t know that if the game that cost reportedly around $400mil and like 8 years bombs there will be jobs lost? 😂
Devs also often get performance bonuses tied to scores and sales/performance of their titles. “They already got paid so buying the game isn’t supporting them” shows a complete lack of understanding of the industry.
They’re also owned by Microsoft now, not like when 76 came out.
