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.

Doesn't really matter why it is the way it is if the way it is sucks.

Seriously. At the end of the day it's the players who decide whether a game is good or fun. They might not understand the nuances of what went into creating a game they don't find fun, but that doesn't make them wrong.
