    I remember people on the Internet talking about the Microsoft Bethesda deal. I saw people saying that it’s “actually a good thing” and how Microsoft can contribute more to Bethesda and they’ll churn out better games for Xbox. Then I see shit like this and games like Starfield and understand why 99% of the people on the Internet have no fucking clue what they’re talking about.

      Starfield was basically done with their release development when Microsoft aquired Bethesda

        Okay. Well they made sure Starfield didn’t come out on the PS5, okay. and I promise you that didn’t help their numbers at all. Okay. Okay

        You think they’re not?

        When Starfield was released Bethesda was already part of Microsoft. Sure, it was mostly done but Microsoft should have realized it was a turd and either delayed the release to rebuild the game or simply cancelled it. Instead they chose to take money from their customers for a game that is clearly not worth the asking price.

        And please read comments more carefully next time. I did not say Microsoft was ever at fault, simply that they did not contribute anything to make Starfield better before release. Delays are a thing, but nobody thought it would be worth it to delay Starfield before release. If anything I’d bet money that Microsoft pushed the release
