So basically these giant open world games get all the funding, coverage, and attention only to have the actual game design aspects of game design left up to the dedication and size of your volunteer mod squad. So really designing the best game means designing the best looking platform for easy game design. Which helps explain Skyrims sucess in contrast to the challenges of later OWRPGs.
