It was not ignored because of Disco Elysium. In fact I had never even heard of DE myself until like last year.

The reason it was "ignored" (it really wasn't though) is that it was a pretty mid game.

ETA: it was also hyped up to be the "Bethesda Killer." IGN was literally posting articles and videos saying things like "Bethesda should probably start looking for a new job."

Ironically I heard more good things about Outer Worlds than from Starfield.
