'New Vegas is a very, very important game to us,' says mildly exasperated Todd Howard, who will never stop getting grilled about New Vegas (www.pcgamer.com)

That quote actually makes sense in context, it's talking about handling the story of the second season of the show.

Also, I doubt Todd Howard was in a position to independently decide to buy the Fallout franchise in 2004.

You criticized Todd Howard for his game design skills in your original comment, I just pointed out that the sentence you quoted didn't refer to designing the story of a game.

You also claimed "He bought a franchise" which seemed unnecessarily personal.

I don't see how Van Buren is related to this at all (except for its relation to New Vegas, I guess, but I don't see what this has to do the article or either of our comments).
