More people are playing Skyrim on Steam than Starfield

Despite being Bethesda biggest launch, interest in Starfield has tailed off somewhat now.
You're viewing a single thread.
Soooo many people boarded the hype train. Speaking of, there’s only a few hundred viewers left on Twitch as well, 2 months after release lol.
Part of the issue is that it also took them 2 months to get any sort of qualified patch out the door.
The previous ones only fixed like 2-3 game breaking bugs each and that was that.
The most recent one does a tad more, but still nothing to write home about.
Some people keep parroting that Bethesda has always had a absolutely horrid trackrecord of patching their messes, so you shouldn't complain about that, but I refuse to give them a pass on that.
People that keep saying that are pretty much saying "yeah, me dog shits in my bed every single day and I'm not going to do anything about it because they've always done that."
And they originally wanted to release around when Redfall released.
After two months everybody literally saw all the game had to offer, so no surprise there.
It's getting dumb what spins they're putting on all of this Starfield coverage. Yesterday it was getting stiffed for Game Awards nominations, today it's low playercount on Steam. I wonder what it's going to be tomorrow, because Microsoft paid for coverage, good or bad.
Stiffed?
To get an award you have to have earned it.
They weren't stiffed on anything as they didn't earn anything.
This while from day one they were talking like they deserved a Grammy (which they literally posted on their press release page).
There were a few articles about it earlier this week (can't find them, but they got posted on Lemmy). Feels like average outrage farming from "games journalists" honestly, since all the articles I can find about it now are from today about how "Nuh uh, it actually didn't get snubbed! Your articles are wrong!"
I think that them announcing mod support for next year actually caused people to abandon it quicker. I mean, they had to talk about mods because it was so expected, but I wish they had support ready to go with the October patch. Give everyone a month to play the story without the temptation to completely overhaul with silly mods, then announce support in time for holiday sales.
I really enjoyed the gamed but I am also waiting to revisit it after mod support is officially added.
