Starfields is one of the biggest games of 2023 – but it’s joined other recent games like Baldurs Gate 3 in being boycotted by conservatives because of the way it interacts with gender.

      Yeah Ok, but there are message boards and mod communities and social media. Anytime bigots voluntarily remove themselves from the conversation is a win.

        They don’t though. Look at the Steam forums. Lots of accounts not owning the game are pushing their garbage rage bait every day.

          Saw some steam discussions about Homefront: The Revolution (was only interested in it for the TimeSplitters 2 rom in the game) about how people think this is exactly how China will invade the US. I’m sitting here like “…no.”

      For now. It’s possible it can go multiplayer though like Skyrim and Morrowind through 3rd party apps/mods. I currently host a for fun pop up multiplayer Morrowind server using tes3mp. Skyrim has a similar 4 person co-op mod.
