I've never understood why that matters for anything other than purely multiplayer games.

People finish games and move on. It's not some GaaS bollocks.

Skyrim is 13 years old and has many more players. It says "Starfield was not a return to form for Bethesda."

Is it something to do with modding-community?

If that generates a load of free cool stuff people may play more for longer.

The main IP rights owner probably doesn't really want this, they want to develop and sell a new game or expansion.

I'm waiting on more world shit mods to play it again, recently saw a house building mod on any planet and have my hopes up more will come. Granted Bethesda might actually want this engagement so they can release a definitive edition with hella mods, to bridge their own technical gaps again lol.
