Ahh these comments, we really do talk like we fully knew these people by parroting trivia-facts and presenting it like deep insight.

Funny how we always how everything about people on screens, sometimes more than they supposedly knew about themselves.
I guess the version of someone that comes through a camera and a few headlines must be far more accurate than the life they actually lived.

"Here’s a fact I skimmed somewhere, therefore I fully understand this person’s entire life and business journey."

It reduces a wildly complex human story down to two bullet points and a "crazy business" punchline.

People online love to feel like they're revealing hidden knowledge, even when they're just repeating surface-level information.

Modern humanity in a nutshell :P

Not sure what you mean, but then again, he did buy Pixar. And in that 1995/96 interview, he was on the verge of returning to Apple through the NeXT acquisition, which would eventually lead to him becoming CEO and turning the company around. The guy wasn't a charlatan. Sometimes it's about the communication itself and the dynamic being pointed to.

For example, could current-day Bethesda make a great Elder Scrolls game, considering that most of the employees from the older titles no longer work there?

Obviously no.

Bethesda is a zombie company. She looks like your mother but she ain't no longer your mother. Time to shoot her in the head.

The most important employee Bethesda lost was Michael Kirkbride. Morrowind is what it is because of his creativity.

I think From Software(Dark Souls) might be one of the few left.

Also, Kojima Productions come to mindo.O
