Startfield is boring because of the bad writing and they made a space exploration game where there are loading screens between the planet and space and you don’t actually explore space.

They fundamentally misunderstood what they were promising, it’s the same as making a pirate game where you never steer the ship or drop anchor.

You can prove people are not bored with the concept as new gamers still start playing fallout new Vegas or skyrim today despite them being old and janky.
