The developers aren't the problem. The problem is the publisher pulling the plug on updates. The games only get a few months of updates before they're cut off completely (typical AAA pattern). Considering the popularity and longevity of the games, the publisher should pay a few developers to stay on the game patching bugs users find but, no, they pull them all off to work on the next thing. The games are left with 1000s of known bugs.

Updates aren't the problem. Launch is the problem. Better launches mean less updates. It still doesn't hide the fact they are polishing a turd with Creation and they aren't doing a good job polishing it.

As a developer, I want to give them credit but I don't know if they are above the threshold for being competent. That said, it is entirely possible that they have a fantastic development team but the constraints are all within management which leaves the dev team little to work with. I don't know so I won't judge.
Given other, much better recent efforts, that seems the logical conclusion.
