Starfield has got to be the most refunded game in History

[OGPG]

Dont get me wrong I like the game and will be keeping it, but I have never seen so many "REFUNDED" threads for any game ever.
Especially during Pre-release.
It's going to be wild over the next week now that it's going into Open Access.

I am enjoying the hell out of it. Just wasted around 2h of my life trying to get my ship just right. I probably have the best stuff on my ship or pretty close. A ton of different habs and what not.
I do agree with HeelvsBabyface but at this point in time you have to deal with it until ship changes (and it will, eventually).

Well, I did refund my game in pre-order phase.

But not because I found it terrible. I got a 7900 XT GPU bundled with the title, so why should I keep both? So I gave back the one I bought and activated the one I got bundled with the GPU.

And the "Woke-Stuff"`? I don't mind "them" as an option.
1st I don't have to pick it - I still can play as a straight male.
2nd in 200 years I bet ppl are more mixed in heritage than today, especially after mass exodus event that brought down any borders
3rd Gay relationships aren't new in a Bethesda game. Just saying. It was a thing in Skyrim and Oblivion already. And don't say the girls looked better then ... ;-)

In fact, the only "woke stuff" I'm concerned with is the lack of natural food. Everything appears to be processed and artificial. I love the real thing: real meat, real fruit, real cheese, real Pilsner etc.

Mostly pskidos and woke haters that where hoping to be able and post a review before open acces. They then discoverd they could not and went on a forum rampage. Making the most absurd claims and flooding the forum with it.

well there is refund and there is them who " did not get the game and say they refund.

All the people who bought this and are going to be playing it on an HDD is going to be quite a fireworks show to watch on release day.

I think you missed the whole No Man's Sky launch, it was the reason why most platforms had to add a refund policy. It was the last game you couldn't get a refund for.

I'm really stoked for this game, my expectations are exactly what I believe this game to be: a ES/Fallout-esque RPG with a space setting instead of a fantasy/post-apocalyptic setting. And I HAD pre-ordered it, back in July I think.

But as people were playing in the five days before it's official release (I pre-ordered the standard edition so was patiently waiting for the 5th) I read a lot of the posts. I chose to ignore all the "woke" and "we were lied to posts" as that has no bearing on my ability to enjoy the game. But I did get worried as I heard about it being a high-end running game. I double-checked the stats on my laptop and to my chagrin I discovered I had erroneously believed my gaming laptop ran at 16 GB memory instead of only the 8 GB my computer actually has.

Sadly, I was crestfallen to learn that it would be impossible to play Starfield on my system, so I did end up refunding it. I know I wont be able to get a new computer for at least a year or more. Otherwise I would definitely not have refunded. (I'm just not the kind of person who thinks about my computer stats and I don't have any of them memorized in my head)

I can believe that a number of people have refunded the game if it just didn't run properly on their rigs. And I know too many people seem to get an idea of what they WANT a video game to be and then are disappointed that it is not THEIR vision when they play it even if a game studio never said the game was going to be such.

But I still don't think this game is going to top any charts for refunds.

(And because I was so in the mood to play Starfield and couldn't, I decided to replay Fallout 3 and Fallout 4 and I had forgotten how much I love those games, so even though I was disappointed, there is at least a silver lining!)

People were saying the same ♥♥♥♥ about Baldur's Gate 3........

its the number of trolls saying they will refund the game haven even bought it, i wouldn't worry. The steam forums are so toxic right now. Starfield is doing fine its still currently the global number one best seller with 200k concurrent players.
