Here is a good video to see, seriously.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxTOUZLgSd0


*Professionals dealing with a bad situation created by bad choices, and doing things badly, like how badly Starfield has been done, and the blame shifting that was everywhere, and trying to ruin something that could have been excellent.

A relief to see this video as well, after so much cowardice trying to defend really really bad games from almost everyone except the actual paying customers. Says alot right there.

Also there is idle chat about Xbox being shut down entirely, which is overblown i am guessing anyway, but further shows whats going on.

I hope Starfield somehow recovers from being done so badly so far.

Critically acclaimed top selling game was terrible? Really? YouTube video as evidence?

Its actually business news, and epic business news at that, considering the situation. The making of a game pretending to be something it isnt, and done badly to ruin what it was supposed to be.

Its so epic its hard to believe but Starfield is one of the most expensive home entertainment games ever made, in an industry thats been failing and making bad games for a decade, and is in the middle of continuing to fail hard and make bad games, and hundreds of millions, maybe many billions in the air, and everything. So its really very interesting.

If there were not so many billions in the air Bloomberg wouldnt have taken notice at all, regardless the drama or anything, considering its home entertainment and everything. I am guessing anyway.

Critically acclaimed top selling videogame is a failure because a YouTube clickbait content creator made a clickbait video.

Didn't you know?, Youtube video's are 100% legit and never faked! You can trust everything posted on there! /S

In this day and age of AI enhanced everything, Google's own phone's being able to edit pictures as you take them, and full on deepfakes, it's amazing that people still believe the **** they find on Youtube.... That they trust anything they read on the internet, read in modern published books or are told via the TV is also pretty amazing...

I totally agree. I much prefer the 'guy down the pub' source for all my information. Much more reliable, and sometimes you get lucky and they even buy you a pint.

Is that a reaction video being offered up?

What is with people being unable to express their own opinions, ideas and thoughts, but instead having to post a video, of a person, reacting to something else.

Starfield bombed when compared to Bethesda's expectations for the IP. it remains to be seen if they can turn it around.

I hope anyone interested in Starfield and its total failure so far sees the video.

I also hope Starfield somehow recovers from being done so badly so far.

I don't actually need to watch a video again in person to draw my conclusions.

a game title as far as I know someone can see it even better while playing and just easily draw their own conclusions about what we are buying today.

Facts are what we see in a game title yes it is a fact.

??? Bethesda reports it was the best launch in the history of the company. Also, released a summary of all the player activity that they collected data on in the first 3 months. The stat's are terrific and don't support your assertion.

Starfields performance says differently, it has not met expectations.

What were the expectations? Please break down the expectations into both units sold and profits vs actual units sold and actual profits. Thanks.

"Starfield was just shy of top 10 selling games in 2023 coming in at the number 11 spot. At number 9 is Warner Brothers Mortal Kombat 1 which Warner brothers themselves has confirmed 3 Million sales[gamingbolt.com] for.

It seems I'm late to noticing this. Both Jason Schreier and Videogamer[www.videogamer.com] made note of this months ago. Jason Schreier even claimed that the $235 Million in steam revenue was an outlandish estimate."

I doubt if Starfield has broke even at this point in time.

Where a piece of software forms part of a service offering, rather than a direct sale-only, "break even" calculations are much more complicated than "how many did it sell in the first 3 months", wouldn't you imagine?

There is alot of video game news right now. About no more exclusives and such things, considering Starfield was an exclusive. Its a huge topic as well in a new industry and alot of stuff going on.
