Okay, fair enough, Fo76 was an unmitigated disaster. But what were you expecting from Starfield, exactly?

Honestly, I’m amazed by the hatedom for Starfield. It’s … a Bethesda game (and it’s actually better at being a Bethesda game than Fo4). I’m not sure what people seem to have expected?

Imagine having that little understanding of how and why people enjoy modding their games.

The engine is what allows the game to have a thriving modding community already.

I know it is, developers can block downloads unless the user is signed into a Steam account that owns the game. But as an end-user that’s distinction without difference.

That’s even worse though. Plenty of games (e.g. Stellaris and RimWorld) are also available on platforms like GOG or, ugh, Epic. But if you want to use mods and you bought the game on any platform other than Steam it’s fuck you.

Not yet. It’s the inevitable outcome of tolerating Nazis on your platform but it takes time, especially with a userbase as large as Twitter’s.
