An internal preview of The Elder Scrolls 6 by Xbox CEO Asha Sharma was interrupted by a large inflatable rat placed by the Communications Workers of America (CWA) union inside Bethesda offices in Maryland. The union protested the company's job cuts, with 166 Bethesda Rockville developers being laid off. The flags outside the office represented each affected employee.
CWA members were organizing against the ongoing "Xbox Reset" and the layoffs. The CEO of Bethesda Game Studios responded positively to Sharma's game preview, while the official Bethesda account thanked her for the kind words. This tweet may be a distraction from the protests occurring at the company.
