There are far easier ways to do that, like -I don’t know- selling Trump merchandise. Gamers are too hard to please.

Or Scarlett Johanssen if you want to get more contemporary.

Oh please.There is real misogyny out there. This ain’t it.

Hey, don’t lump skeffles in with the guys!

I appreciate the thoughtful comments. You have made me reevaluate my position. I certainly wasn’t nuanced in my initial post. I still think writing and directors are the primary issue. I do not think franchise fatigue would be as prevalent if the quality of the output hadn’t diminished.

I’d say writing and compelling characters with real story arcs matters a lot if you want people to keep coming back for the next one if the plan is huge interconnected series like Phase V.

Hell, I think Skyrim has more daily players than Starfield RIGHT NOW.

That’s plenty of time to generate more barren planets for players to walk around in and go “You know, I could be playing Baldur’s Gate 3 RIGHT NOW”

Stupid test audiences.

I Am Legend 3: the Legend of I Am Curly’s Gold

No, money down!

I’m glad to see Chaos from Primal Rage finally got a new gig!

Okay, fine. Let me rephrase: “if you already are paying for GamePass, then you will not have to spend any extra money to play Starfield”.

Because the game is derivative, repetitive, ugly, and boring?

Fixed: Elon Musk is an antisemitic Austin Powers supervillain.

Calling him a Bond supervillain is insulting to Bond supervillains and would imply he has a plan of some sort.

They would never do anything altruistic without ulterior motives themselves, so they project that on others. Classic. 

LOL I am, welcome fellow old.
