🚀 Starfield has received a mixed reception since its launch, currently holding a 59% rating on Steam from over 100,000 reviews.

🛠️ Bethesda's design director, Amil Pagliarulo, faced backlash for his comments on player criticism, suggesting that consumers often misunderstand game development realities.

📉 The expansion, Shattered Space, has also been poorly received, with a 59% top critic average and only 31% of critics recommending it. Steam ratings are similarly negative, with 30% positive reviews.

💔 Critics and players alike feel that Shattered Space lacks depth, with boring characters and poor writing. Many believe it feels like cut content from the base game.

🔍 Todd Howard acknowledged that Starfield is different from previous Bethesda titles, but many players feel it doesn't meet their expectations for exploration.

📊 Despite the negative feedback, Bethesda claims to be listening to player concerns, but many feel that fundamental issues remain unaddressed.

⚠️ Former Bethesda developers have expressed concerns about the company's direction, indicating that the team size and approach to game design may be hindering quality.

🔮 Looking ahead, there are worries about the quality of future titles like Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 5, especially if Bethesda continues to ignore player feedback.
