Starfield design lead says players are "disconnected" from how games are actually made: "Don't fool yourself into thinking you know why it is the way it is" (www.gamesradar.com)

apparently this is in response to a few threads on Reddit flaming Starfield—in general, it's been rather interesting to see Bethesda take what i can only describe as a "try to debate Starfield to popularity" approach with the game's skeptics in the past month or two. not entirely sure it's a winning strategy, personally.

Consumers don't need to know how the sausage is made, but they sure as fuck know if it tastes good. Ignoring criticism because consumers don't know how the sausage machine broke is how you get endless news articles pointing and laughing at Bethesda.

The customer is always right goes beyond the literal words. Perchance it's a lesson that needs relearned.
