For those who have pre-ordered it is already here, the rest have to wait a little longer. Starfield is finally here! Have you bought it, why or why not? If you've already played it, what do you think of it? We are very curious!

Discuss all things Starfield below!

There's no reason for studios to behave better when they get a bazillion pre-orders and games make a profit before they're even released. When that dynamic is in play there will always be an army of MBAs who point out that the purpose of the company is hyped releases and everything else is strictly secondary.

So to sum up, I agree. I won't be touching this until it's mature, stable, and on sale.
