They’re going to fuck it up anyway
Starfield is currently the 6th most played game on Steam. What makes you think they would fail ES6?
And it’s on Game Pass. In my friend group, 80% of us are playing it via Game Pass rather than on Steam. Obviously that’s anecdotal, and other groups of people won’t have any Game Pass subscribers among them, but I have to imagine the number of Game Pass players of Starfield is pretty damn high.
Looking at the Steam charts for Redfall is quite something. What a dumster-fire inside a train wreck.
Ok, but that’s an Arkane Austin game who have nothing to do with Bethesda Studios, they just happen to be owned by Zenimax/Bethesda Softworks.
Starfield is a better comparison and while it has its detractors, sales and player number wise it’s doing great.
