In other news regarding Bethesda, the studio suffered a major blow this month, as parent company Microsoft closed down four internal studios which included Tango Gameworks and more. People were not happy about it, so much so, that Fallout 76 players are even nuking Xbox boss Phil Spencer’s base in the game! That won’t remain unanswered however, as Spencer seems to be readying to retaliate.
