A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

God I hope I don’t add starfield to this list!
It’s a modern bethesda title. Not to be pessimistic, but you should probably lower expectations for it. It has a high chance to be 1. Buggy. 2. Shallow and derivative in both mechanics and story. 3. Full of DLC and shady monetary models. Bethesda succumbed to corporate greed and formulaic design principles a long time ago.
See, that's the part that baffles me about Starfield. I'm hyped as fuck for it, since a bethesda space game is exactly what I want (and let's be honest, aside from the horse armor back in oblivion, their DLCs have been pretty solid with some misses)... but whenever I read people hype about it, it seems like they are expectont a completely different game, made by IDK, rockstar or something.
I don't know, if I'm honest, if there is one AAA developer out there that makes games that will keep me engaged for at least a couple of hundred hours, it's probably Bethesda. I think Starfield will be the same. Will there be bugs: yes. Will it be a variation on a well-known theme? Most definitely. Will it be less good than the hype: very likely. Will it be totally worth it nonetheless: probably yes.
