apparently this is in response to a few threads on Reddit flaming Starfield—in general, it's been rather interesting to see Bethesda take what i can only describe as a "try to debate Starfield to popularity" approach with the game's skeptics in the past month or two. not entirely sure it's a winning strategy, personally.

Not only that, but their blindness is the result of developers choices on what they share. If you don't want people making incorrect assumptions, give them more info. Don't tell them to just forego having any opinion on the matter.

If it looks like a decision was made cynically, prove otherwise, don't just say 'No, you're wrong, you just don't know!'
