That’s honestly the only explaination for the ones who aren’t paid to be “fans”.I've finally figured it out.
Bethesda fans are masochists. They enjoy the experience of suffering through a bad time.
"The game is entirely awful, 7/10"

You weren't kidding. Utterly deranged and unhinged predictions. Every second poster smugly spewing the same line: "Over 1 million"
Awesome post from RexNovis on ERA with all the receipts showing the narrative was Starfield would beat everything. It changed so quickly after the reality came out.It must be burning phils soul having steam data(ccu) publically available.
Can't use his used car salesmen skills to massage the numbers more positively.
This could be one of the biggest flops of the gen relative to expectations. It's not top on GP in its launch week, it flopped on steam based on CCU, and then we have curated reviews that couldn't stem the tide of 4-6/10s that keep pouring in.
This is what people forget. Even if Starfield now beats Skyrim, it is such a far fall from the hype and expectations. It's underperforming compared to how BGS should have grown, and it's not even 1/4 of what Starfield was expected to be.

Starfield has reached 325,000 concurrent players, and has beaten Skyrim's all-time peak (STEAM)
I was certainly expecting a higher CCU count on steam than what is currently reflected on the steam charts. The increduslousness being levied at folks surprised by the lower than expected Steam CCU is something else after seeing folks come into every thread about Baldur’s Gate 3 CCU to remind us...www.resetera.com
Obviously underperformed all these games. 6m players for Starfield on "launch" (early access existed) meanwhile ToTK sold 10m in 3 days. At the end of the day the BGS shills retreated to the Starfield baseline of "it's just another Bethesda RPG bro." Indeed, no massive victory here, just another feather in the cap.And for the first time in a very, very long time, Xbox is about to launch the biggest console exclusive of the year—bigger than Sony’s Spider-Man 2, bigger than Nintendo’s The Legend Of Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom. In a year full of massive game releases—Hogwarts Legacy, Diablo IV, Baldur’s Gate 3, etc. etc.—none are as hotly-anticipated as Starfield
TOTK: 10 millions first 3DThis is what people forget. Even if Starfield now beats Skyrim, it is such a far fall from the hype and expectations.

Spider-man 2 would definitely be around 5 millions first week
Pretty hard to break bigger than those twos.
I expect Spiderman 2 to be bigger than Starfield. Amazon for my country in gaming ranks Spiderman 2 as #7, Starfield #58 (it's dropped 43 places in the past 5 days). Hopefully we see a ~5m sales on day one or so.TOTK: 10 millions first 3D

I find it funny how most people thinks their *radical ideas* forum represents the real world. Just because you makes 10 million Starfield threads doesn't make it popular.Super Mario Wonder has potential to surpass everything but that might end up happening over the long run. Zelda launch will be tough for anything to beat anytime soon.
those 2M CCU are closer than everFolks the steam user score is about to go below 73%.
Hallelujah and goodnight.
Spiderman will absolutely be bigger than Starfield. I expect more sales than Starfield will have players. Lmao at that Forbes article. Link that to anyone asking where the hype was.
The Forbes article wasn't written by Paul Tassi but Paul is another clown always defending Starfield. Forbes is fully in MS ass.Spiderman will absolutely be bigger than Starfield. I expect more sales than Starfield will have players. Lmao at that Forbes article. Link that to anyone asking where the hype was.

I knew he was going to get banned but it's so unfair. 2 months just for bringing the receipts. They really want to live in their xbox echo chamber.Aaaanndd no surprise that that guy got banned by none other than idiot xbotz mod judge LMFAO.
