They ain't wrong. I mean look at Blizzard when they announced Diablo Immortal. If they just opened with a big red firey "IV" and coming soon, with a little 'yes were hard at work on it but it's too early to show but in the meantime" then did D:I it would have gone over a tad smoother.

Bethesda did this with Fallout Shelter, doing the Fallout 4 announcement first before going oh btw a few of us did a mobile game on the side. Literally zero blowback from that.

No intention of buying starfield here until it’s a game worth the money and I love space sims.
