I cannot agree with a lot of this, that it's a justified never ending series of hate waves. I especially cannot agree these are Bethesda fans. Every comment thread typically contains a shitload of vitriol toward them specifically, calling it out by name.

I was a huge fan of Skyrim and fallout 3/4. I bought Starfield, hated the map, found the game kind of interesting but not obsession level compelling, and just haven't played it much. It couldn't be less interesting to me to obsessively hate it. There isn't a way it could be bad enough to talk about over and over. It's old news. I may pick it up later when I'm bored and get into it, or I may not. Life moves on. I think people need to see it as what it is, a video game, and as such there are much more important things in life. Play the ones you like and be done with it.

Having said all this the hate waves don't seem to be stopping so I'm simply going to add Starfield to my content filter. Just simply don't give a shit.
