Summary:
- Bethesda, the company behind the popular video game Skyrim, was told that the game couldn't survive going up against the hugely popular Call of Duty franchise.
- However, Bethesda's Pete Hines believed that Skyrim, an RPG (role-playing game), could launch against Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and still be successful.
- Hines recognized that while Call of Duty was a "big brand," Skyrim was a "better game" and could stand on its own against the competition.
