apparently this is in response to a few threads on Reddit flaming Starfield—in general, it’s been rather interesting to see Bethesda take what i can only describe as a “try to debate Starfield to popularity” approach with the game’s skeptics in the past month or two. not entirely sure it’s a winning strategy, personally.

      So, they were right about knowing better, after all 😉

      I actually think that this is a marketing fallacy some (?) big corporations use to create a self fulfilling prophecy of what people want. Wery rarely is it really a novel thing that just requires users to understand how good it is, very often it’s just gaslighting

        In Bethesdas case, they’ve been going down this road for a while now and have just refused to listened to any criticism along the way.

        Eventually that turned into F76 and Starfield.

        The fact that they are telling people “they are wrong for finding the game boring” is funny. But that Beth won’t learn anything from this is just sad.
