Starfield’s numbers have swollen in early access on streaming and gaming platforms - and the global release is yet to take place.

    Shame. If people keep paying for “head start”, companies will keep selling them and making bank off FOMO.

    On the plus side, plenty of guides getting created so I can start tomorrow without fear of fucking up my first character too badly.

      I worry that this also has a rose tinted glasses effect on early user reviews. The only people leaving reviews for the first few days are going to be the people already invested enough to pay extra for early access, and they may be more willing to overlook issues with the game.

        That’s precisely what I’m seeing with streams of the game. There’s so many bugs and just bizarre design decisions, especially with the opening hour or so, but the streamers then claim it’s a perfect game with no problems.
