There's actually a third option: Microsoft knew Starfield would sell, stinker or not, because Bethesda has a very loyal fanbase that will eat up anything they put out. It didn't matter to Microsoft whether the game was good or not, they knew they'd make their money either way.

That’s just option 2 I describes, in more words. Basically, they scammed Bethesda’s loyal fans.
