yes, as a huge ultima nerd, i was excited for UO. after spending hours barely being able to do anything because of my 386 PC and 14.4 dialup speed, and then getting killed because of all the lag and losing everything, i said i guess i don’t have the money to play this game, and left it
but that wasn’t bethesda-- still origin at that point
there was some point in the not too distant past where i said “ok, everything is bullshit now” and stopped paying attention. ultima is EA now? ok. fuck EA, and fuck ultima
As a child their games where always too difficult for me, so I preferred Lucas Arts adventures but looking back at them now they had some real gems. Games with… soul
Ultima Online LOL

It ain’t even Bethesda’s now. EA bought them, not Bethesda, or ZeniMax, or Microsoft.
