How No Man's Sky launch fiasco serves as an important insight for Bethesda and Starfield
Starfield is one of the most anticipated games of 2022, and the hype for the game is massive.

Suffice to say, many of the promises made weren't delivered. The problem didn't stop with the missing features, as there were many bugs. The state in which the game was launched was outright terrible.
