So instead of fixing their game, Bethesda is spending their time arguing with reviewers?

[Amplifier]

If so, that's just sad, man. I've never seen a game dev respond to reviews before...yet alone from an AAA publisher of all things (if we can even still call them of 'AAA' standards nowadays).

You ever heard of a Community Manager? They don't do development work generally.

[Sandman90]

Bethesda has historically had abysmal pr. This was the worst thing they could have done because you can't just tell people they're wrong for not enjoying your game and I say this as someone who actually likes starfield. What were they thinking?

[Diernayr]

They did it to me in Fallout76, I left a review saying it was pay to win, they responded with a long winded explanation of how it wasnt and its only cosmetics.

And thats not true at all, if you want any of the cool stuff, deco, architecture etc you have to grind for days......or hey, just pay real money and have it right now. Thats pay to win to me.

Play any BGS game or ANY GAME and they have bugs, if bugs bother you so much it interferes with your ability to understand a community Manger does not work the game it might be time to find a new hobby.

So they bothered hiring a community manager just to argue with customers? I mean, really... what are they hoping to gain here? This isn't even about bugs or inherent technical issues players are facing with the game.

This is them... really, just arguing with opinions. OPINIONS. Like how immature can they be? I've never seen any game dev, even indie devs, respond to criticism so stupidly immature and one-sided before

They probably have a few hundred.

Hahaha, I want to argue with Bethesda. But too bad that my review of Starfield is abysmally negative, so not even ChatGPT AI or Bethesda shills with fake accounts dare to arque with me.

Remember when they also tried to monetize Skyrim mods? Bethesda aint no saint or kind of dev that actually cares about their playerbase. They're way too delusional about their own success at this point. I'm surprised after FO76, they went on to produce an even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game instead

Can't satisfy everybody.

[Nemerlight]

MS buys Valve and forces them to delete all negative Starfield reviews.

[Alenfal]

The responses are pretty funny lol. Like weak attempts to gaslight to being completely tone-deaf.

I'm betting there will be a response, eventually and from the devs, stating somewhere in the vein of how modders will "fix" the game's issues.

Bethesda replies to users subjective bad reviews are so cringe.

I almost can't stand it.

[edmundyhee]

Bethesda is arguing this is a good game. I beg to differ.

[Lemiarty]

What's really sad is that you actually believe the people working on fixing the game and the people managing social media are the same people. They are likely not in the same office or even in the same building and possibly not even in the same country.

[The Sylvan Learning Center]

No whats really sad is anyone defending Bethesda doing this insane thing.
