Starfield playerbase hold is impressive for a singleplayer game, even now in mid December 3 and a half months after release it is still the most played singleplayer only game on Xbox's most played chart at #16 overall (next highest singleplayer only game is Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora at #28, while the singleplayer + co-op Baldur's Gate 3 is at #21), blows my mind how some in the industry continue to attack it, like this BS article I saw on Twitter earlier today:
Are Bethesda's Promises About Starfield Enough To Save It?https://t.co/UpqzeLqXUP

I was very glad to see that Twitter post got ratio'd with 98 comments against 137 likes and comments with more likes than the original post. They are acting like it is a multiplayer GaaS game that is seeing huge playerbase decline, playerbase decline is normal for a singleplayer game like Starfield, mod support and the official expansions and updates next year will give Starfield playerbase spikes and then eventually Starfield will likely settle in the lower top 50 playerbase range of around 30-50 just like Bethesda's previous 2 singleplayer offerings, Skyrim and Fallout 4, which are currently ranked #31 and #39 respectively.
