Judging by the coverage of Starfield, Bethesda should not be allowed to do ‘hands-off’ development. They release a broken buggy and incomplete mess, then let the modding community finish it for free. I mean maybe from a business perspective that was a good move, can afford to drop some devs and reduce dev time I guess.

But even though Starfield roughly combines the genres I am most interested in, there is no way I am buying it until (if) it goes on a sale for around 10 bucks.

Pulls out a drawer full of eyepatches

I don’t sail the high seas much these says, I did when I was a broke college student unable to afford full priced titles. Now my time is limited, my funds less so, so I rather just give the little spare time and money to projects I actually can get behind. Also I don’t think I want to fuck around with running pirated versions in linux, might be a PITA.

Observing Starfields failures have rekindled my interest in Elite:Dangerous and No Mans Sky.
