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.

    Star field already made it’s cost back right… so what the fuck does a boycott do?

      “We made enough money,” said no capitalist ever. To be clear, I don’t support this boycott, but it is an effective form of protest because the company expects to make more money. Which they will, because bigots are more powerful than they should be, but aren’t as powerful as they like to imagine

        I mean something that has to be realized is that this isnt like bud light. Bud light has very low margins, video games are dependent on most of the money coming in when the game is released. To assume the lowest confirmed numbers Starfield has already made 420 million dollars. Even if Bethesda is the worst run company, that’s enough money to run the game for a while
