While this specific article became a meme, it is also a frequent PlayStation die-hard argument I’ve heard over the past month or two, and I really do think Starfield is doing a lot better than people think.
I'm still waiting for a bigger patch. I think they've been uncharacteristically slow at putting out fixes and that has cost them player count. Nothing they cant still fix. If I were them I wouldn't release any content patches to get players back until the base game is less buggy. Might make players dismiss the game entirely if they return and the same bugs are there.
Yup, pretty similar to Cyberpunk... really rough launch state with the potential to be an amazing game in the long run. The eternal question, though, us whether it'll get the love it needs.
