This doesn't read soulless corporation to me. This reads Todd Howard's bruised ego. He's one of the directors of the whole studio after all, and could very well be behind this decision.

Amusing that the article gets the response of the first review wrong.

The negative review doesn't only mention that the empty planets are boring, but that the populated ones are the same locations over and over again.

I miss Games like Starbound. So much to see and do. Unbelievable good atmospheric Music under a Sky full of Stars while building you first Base. This was one, if not the, first game to give me a feeling of smallness in comparison to the Universe.

I also loved starbound. My problem was the late game became very gamey, with the linear planet tier progression to get better materials. Once I got past the progression and beat the final boss there was nothing fun left to do, even with all the base building stuff they put in.

There's nothing wrong with a game ending at the final boss tbh

Me: I'm bored

Bethesda: No you're not.

Me: Oh

amid Starfield's ‘mixed’ user review rating of 69%.

Nice.

I remember reading that quote before the game launched. Weird.

You can reply to reviews on Steam????

Yeah? There's a comment section and developers comments get highlighted on the store page. As far as I know it's been like this for many years.
