REPOST

Starfield is in the top 3 Bethesda games for me. I know, I'm weird, let's not discuss it further. And even though I love the game, I can acknowledge that it has a pretty negative reputation. Some of it is deserved, a lot of it is also - i feel - is being hit by the online discourse, which isn't exclusive to Starfield at all.

I think it doesn't make financial sense to develop Starfield further. People don't seem as interested, modding is mostly via paid mods, this sub is all ship screenshots. The interest isn't there. Only time when people want to talk about Starfield is when they want, for umpteenth time, to express how disappointed they are.

This radio silence right now is, i feel, good indication. Bethesda sees it's not worth it loud and clear. They might release one more half-assed DLC, and then I feel they'll bow out. A shame, I would've liked to see this game prosper, but it just doesn't seem to be in the stars.

They also put little effort into this strategy (if this even was their strategy). Weeks until mods kit was released. No tutorials on how to make easy POIs so less technical creative people could start adding stories etc. Going for the attitude of "we barely thought about mod support for skyrim and it worked out".
