Because their plan is to go all-in on Bethesda and "high-impact" titles. They don't care if a game is good or beloved by fans if it doesn't sell millions of copies at AAA prices.

They just had Starfield make a fortune based purely on Bethesda hype despite middling reception from the community. They know the next Fallout or Elder Scrolls will do even better regardless of quality, so that's where their investment goes.
