Their working culture must be incredibly toxic to be responding like this to valid criticism.

It really explains the state of the game.

This is the same company that took a weird joke character from Morrowind - M'aiq the Liar - and added him into Oblivion solely so that he could deliver a bunch of lines that were all just thinly veiled dismissals of criticisms that were made during development and/or insults leveled at the people who made them.

This is nothing new for them.

I don't know how I missed that. His lines on his UESP page are literally just that.

Yeah, gives the sense that open discussion amongst employees was heavily discouraged, and it was being led by a few people absolutely fixated on making their vision come true and making people afraid to question them even if they thought it was bad.
