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.
They only have to drop $120 to play both if they want to play both RIGHT NOW! There are plenty of really sweet old games on discount that they could play right now instead, and then play BG3 and Starfield after they too are discounted.
I think most people are perfectly fines supporting a good game at full price. Especially if it's from a studio they want to see more of.
I agree! I was speaking of people who for some reason are unable to afford $120 to buy both games this summer/fall. They can wait and play them later. Thus, there is no need for conflict between fans of the two franchises.
