“I began a major effort writing code for a game I haven’t played” is not a stupid thing to say in your mind? I had no idea that could be controversial. I think you people just hate Starfield that much because it’s become popular to
I guess, why my interpretation is different, is because I’m a developer as well. And to us, modding can be more fun than actually playing a game.
So, if you assume the game will be good, you’ll probably just dive into the modding right away. Especially if you want to ride along the initial hype wave, so that your mods are immediately appreciated by lots of players.
If you do then start playing the game and notice that it doesn’t match your expectations, even if that were an entirely personal problem, that just robs you of your motivation to continue with the modding.
And I guess, that is really what the guy is pissed about. That he wasted time, because the marketing evoked wrong expectations in him.
Personally, I would consider myself wiser than that, because I’ve been burned by Bethesda’s marketing beforehand (Skyrim), but I’m certainly not wishing that kind of wisdom onto other people.
If that helps you discredit his opinion, I guess, he must be.
