Maybe in five years, if (and only if) they keep working on it like No Man's Sky, then maybe Starfield might be redeemed.

But they've already fucked up by making the DLC paid. Until the game is playable, they should be reinvesting their original sales income. Otherwise they burn all the good will.

The game is very much playable, I have sunk 200+ hours into it and still have very much fun playing it. Not every game has to be for everyone.

Very true. I went in with perhaps unrealistic expectations and didn't enjoy the gameplay loop. When I enjoy a game, I really enjoy a game, with several titles having 1000+ hours.

Someone needs to introduce Bethesda to Markov chain based storytelling if they're going to use procedural generation. Anyway, I digress. I'm looking forward to Outer Worlds 2 ;)
