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.

The fumbled big time with support for mods. You’d have a hard time making enough content for just the main game, no way you’d have the resources for more content in the multiple universes.
There should have been a mod framework from the beginning, and a developer tutorial for how to add mods into the multiple universes and Bethesda guidelines on how to make your mod match the Unity system. So characters and faces can change every Unity at a minimum.
And settler system was also a failure. Can’t have a living outpost if people can’t just show up Fallout 4 style.
