Will Fallout 76 survive the BGS purge?

Those words what I said in the title.

Prioritizing the Fallout IP is great. Putting Obsidian in charge even better (sorrey Todd, you suck). But the bloodbath at BGS is very troubling.

its hard to tell. i wonder what money eso was pulling in vs fallout 76, from what i read, they threw away half the ESO team.

i havent heard anything about fallout 76 layoffs yet, but if they're making enough money they'll be ok. plus they are concentrating on fallout IP now more so i see 76 being more favored vs eso.

i think fallout 76 will survive, but im just guessing at the end of the day.

edit: i am dumb, the lead quest designer for fo76 got shit canned.

That's the thing. Quest development is absolutely glacial already, not to mention prone to eternal cliffhangers and abandoned areas.
