Hello? Single-player fans? Bethesda is talking to you directly, and it would like you to purchase its games.

In an ad that ran during The Game Awards 2017 on Thursday night, Bethesda Softworks invoked the power of Lynda Carter (of classic Wonder Woman fame) to remind people that it made a lot of single-player games this year. In a year where studios like EA pivoted its upcoming Star Wars title away from a single-player adventure, and multiplayer experiences like PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds dominate the conversation, it’s easy to see why single-player games might lose their shine — especially when publishers are looking at their bottom line.
