    I think you’re severely underestimating how much time, effort, and resources game development takes. Especially when the devs aren’t doing it full-time.

      Well, in such a scenario I’m also making two assumptions:

      1. That the modders are indeed being paid by Bethesda to work full-time on it since it’s meant to be sold when finished (not unlike Skyrim Special Edition, only made by modders)
      2. There’s a way to add code and assets from existing mods to their remake. If they have to make it all from scratch then yeah, a year is not enough.
