I've never understood the need for gamers to get into specific game tribes and compete with other game tribes. I just want good games period. Why would I care if BG3 tops 1 million concurrent users and Starfield doesn't or reverse? That won't affect me in the slightest. I just want both to be good.
I'm with you, but many consumers will have to make a choice between games if they cannot justify $120 dollars in discretionary spending. Further, you can only play one game at a time, stream one game at a time, post about one game at a time.
I will be buying Starfield day 1 probably, as I have already bought BG3. But I can only play one at a time, and be fully immersed in one at a time.
