I suspect you’re looking for correlations that aren’t even that accurate/reliable

No man sky wasn’t unplayable either

And it got SHIT on despite it being a small time company (hello games, maybe not exactly indie but definitely younger and less experienced than Bethesda assuredly)

Why is everyone so defensive of powerful giants?

Not to mention the fact that Bethesda (for their second release in a row) has the audacity to charge more for less gameplay. Sure it has promise, but don’t have the balls to charge me even more (I guess we’re all cool with $70 games now) for a game that took at least 6 years (if not more) to make that still drops with crazy and immersion breaking bugs ( I think that’s a fairly consistent feature we all look for in a game across the board)

    @stevedidWHAT Not really “defensive of giants”. Just not understanding how people get so worked up over tiny things in something as unimportant as a video game.

    Seriously, some of these posts sound like Starfield broke into their house and killed their dog. Seems like everyone could dial it back a solid 30%

    I think people are valid in their venting of frustrations.

    This isn’t frustration entirely against this game or even just Bethesda. We’re humans, we’re complicated and have loooooots of things that influence our attitudes and behaviors.

    The frustration you see is likely part of frustrations that are held with lots of commodities we seemingly pay more and more for and get less and less from.

    It’s not just Bethesda, the frustration is much larger than that and to try and downplay that is just ignorant of peoples lives and the bigger picture itself (in my opinion of course)

    @stevedidWHAT I get being frustrated, although like you say, seems this is a much bigger problem than- I’m shocked by the way the gaming industry treats its customers and what those customers put up with. Feels more like a junkie/pusher relationship than an entertainment industry.

    But honestly, issues with games are very much a rich people problem, akin to getting all worked up over the quality of Starbucks coffee. No one’s playing Starfield on an inexpensive device.

    You did it again man

    You generalized the frustrations to being only with the game industry.

    It’s generalized frustration with being constantly ripped off, so because people are already feeling that, of course they’re going to speak up about specific instances.

    And your last point, again, getting ripped off is a problem everyone deals with. Rich or poor. If seeing too many opinions is a problem to you, maybe you should get off the internet. Don’t try to make this someone else’s problem.

    If you don’t want to hear everyone’s opinions, you don’t have to, but that doesn’t mean they’re invalid or somehow “not a real problem” because they don’t align with your lifestyle or opinions.
