I dont understand the “its a kick in the chest” we know were getting a DLC. Just not when.
Most companies who say they listen to the fans do not listen to the fans. They say they do then do the opposite. Thats the standard. The ones who actually listen are few and far between

I buy paid mods to support the mod authors, not Bethesda. The beauty of the creations system is that the modders can carry the game forward without Bethesda. I’m fine with buying a new expansion from Kinggath annually or bi-annually…..

im not surprised honestly, i don think the community should be either. even when they were communicating, the vitriolic reaction from every youtuber in the community, was incredibly off putting. they could do no right. honestly, the community killed the game, not Bethesda. when BGS is ready to update the game, they will announce it, if ever.

Its over for starfield

“Is Elder Scrolls going to be like this?”

Yep. And Fallout too. I think it’ll be more easy going given SF was tip of the spear for the products in this engine, but if they didn’t like the long form approach with SF, they’re gonna get that memo sooner or later with those.

That said, they did threaten to combo up base refinements and feature additions with the story drop last year per Phil and Todd, and the story drop was held up by the strike which lasted 7/26/2024 to 7/9/2025 so i can understand where not having access to the voice talent can put the brakes on a finished DLC package until that stuff is recorded.

Well, I said I would load up X4 if we don’t get any information of what to expect from Starfield.
Now is the time to re-familiarize myself with the game. I am tired of waiting for Starfield news.
There has been a lot of updates since I last played and EgoSoft is also adding new diplomacy game play and a stealth ship.

I was really surprised how quiet it was overall from Bethesda, particularity no Fallout-news in tandem with the tv-show. I know they producing Indiana Jones and showed a trailer, but I still see that game as a separate entity. Getting no news regarding Starfield – sadly – dosent surprise me anymore. These days I care more about shipbuilding (wich has a great community) than actually playing the (roleplaying)-game

Warframe is brilliant for developers keeping players in the loop for incoming and future updates. They also ask the community they would like to see in warframe in the future and fix any bugs that need fixing.

Right there with you about being frustrated. Always appreciate the content u make on this game. Keep it up, Crimson!

Good video! So, I’m on two sides with this. On one hand, yeah, I’m disappointed that Bethesda didn’t announce anything for Starfield at Gamescom. I also feel that Bethesda isn’t great at communicating with fans. On the other hand, however… Well, I browse the Gamedev subreddit quite a bit, and have actually had the privilege to have brief chats with some game developers on Reddit and Discord (Ex-game developers and indie game devs who have left big AAA companies and had their contracts dry up, for clarification). They have all told me that the common reasons why some game development companies are flaky when it comes to communicating with fans is more to do with the slow and chaotic nature of AA-AAA game development and less to do with anything insidious like sadistically leaving audiences in the dark.

So reasons like limited time & resources, marketing constraints, rigid chain of command, not having anything to actually show to audiences, general chaos behind the scenes, etc. One big reason one ex-dev told me is that a lot of devs fear having their words be twisted and misinformed by the media and then getting harassed for it. And let’s be real here, there have been many cases of game developers’ words being slandered by some grifter with a platform online.

But yeah, they’ve all told me that in their eyes, staying silent and letting the people think what they want to think is the best solution in a bad situation – and that the hope within a studio is that their next big content update will satisfy the wait. One of them shared with me two great Tumblr posts that explain this in much better detail than how I’m laying it out here. I won’t share the link because I don’t want my comment possibly being deleted, but just search up “askagamedev tumblr why don’t devs tell fans” and it should be the first thing you see pop up. Honestly, learning all this has made me become more understanding of game developers. I create mods, and am a part of a few big projects, so I can empathize in a way even though I’m not in their position. I’m not saying Bethesda and other game companies aren’t infallible and perfect. They can and have made very unwise decisions, and there are people in the industry who are really just in it for the money and don’t care about building rapport with fans. But most game developers are really trying their best with the hands they’ve been dealt with.

Anyways, to tie what I just rambled on about back to Bethesda and Starfield, it’s more than likely they felt they didn’t have anything to show at Gamescom. That, and they didn’t give any updates on what’s happening due to probably wanting to avoid another negative campaign by the media. From the leaks and rumors, they’re working on stuff and are figuring things out. So all we can do as fans is wait and see. It sucks, but honestly, what else we can do?

As for the expansion, it’s already confirmed its coming. Whether or not we’ll get a 3rd, 4th, and even 5th expansion is up in the air. However, Todd Howard has said that he regretted not supporting Fallout 4 and Skyrim for longer than he did, and so I’m guessing that even with the polarizing and divisive reputation Starfield currently has, he’s gonna stick with it for the long haul – especially with how much Bethesda and Microsoft has invested into the Creations program. Like, Bethesda stuck around with Fallout 76, and it’s become one of their most popular games. If they were willing to stick it out with an initial disaster like F76, then I’m sure they’re willing to stick it out with Starfield which sold very well and is reportedly doing fine on Gamepass.

Oh crimson check out downfalls black jack table mod. With real cards on the table pretty solid and FREE!!

They expect Starfield to go head to head with GTA6 next year. Two single player open world action adventure games. GOOD LUCK😂

Bro they only want your money look at the quality of creations paid mods cash grabs mate

Well shattered space wasn’t that good was it and wasn’t reviewed well that damages profitability and Bethesda/Microsoft doesn’t like that and when Microsoft is involved it’s best not to disrupt expected cash flow because that’s when people get fired or resigned, and crimson stop thinking corporations care about customers we’re just a open wallet to them Bethesda invented microtransactions

I have about given up and when the expanse gets released, I will probably move over and just start playing that. I am level 241 and I am on my 25th trip through the unity. If it weren’t for mods, I would have no reason to continue to play. This really upsets me because I absolutely fell in love with this game when it was released, but I should’ve known better. Because it is after all a Bethesda game

I am so ready for new content from Bethesda, especially around ship parts, I have cash waiting haha

We have to go to court with this!

Coffee time. Just keep fighting the good fight. Great video.

This is not an example of “no news is good news”. They really should keep the conversations going about this game, to keep people interested. I love Starfield, but man, I need to hear they actually continue to care about this game.

When they said they would support it for 10 years, they meant the same amout of dlc that skyrim had over 10 years XD

I think them supplying the reaction to Shattered Space as a reason for their behavior is just an excuse. Internally a lot of the creative members of the company are aware of the problems and the inability to deliver on their vision for the game. The fact that they even gave up on producing news about paid mods means they’re happy to just sit back and let others do the work. Otherwise they could the Escape mod as a base for bi-monthly content drops of a similar caliber.

What more news do we need? We know that the next DLC and Playstation support will be released next year. There is not much more to report and there is not much more I want to know from Bethesda. The hot stuff is happening in the modding community. So Nexusmods would be the place to go, if you want news about Starfield.
Don’t expect Bethesda to talk about new features. The news about supercruise implemented in Starfield was a leak. Bethesda would never announce what new features they are planning before they have finished them and are ready to release them. They want to keep the option to scrap them, if they don’t turn out as they want without disappointing anybody.

Like and comment for the algorithm! I am dissapointed by the lack of news from BGS but I am hoping the radio silence means they have somerhing big in the works. To be honest while I am not happy with the current silence from BGS I can understand why they may be waiting until what they are working on is ready to launch before saying anything. BGS has large content creators like Mr Matty Plays and Luke Stephens just to name two of the more egregious malcontents determined to trash anything and everything Starfield related on their social media platforms. Producing negative Starfield content has been a cottage industry for awhile now and calling on BGS to abandon the game in favor focusing on pushing put the next Elder Scrolls or Fallout game has become the rallying cry of their ilk for some time now.

As so many insiders, who have actually often been right with their predictions, have already said: No news about Starfield 2025. And a Warning: If this is realy “Drepessing” then your expectations are waaay to high. Starfield will NOT do a “No Mens Sky” or “Cyberpunk 2077 2.0”. Expect an “ok´ish” Addon and some smaller (free) Additions.

This doesn’t surprise me. Bethesda is making a killing with paid mods so they can lay back and count their money. They don’t have to do anything in their mind. 10 years of mod content is what they meant. The Fallout 76 update is a week from today. They’ve already mentioned it with a community calendar.

They have announced it on switch and playstation. If i was to guess the dlc will come at the same time other platforms get the game

Don’t let the HopeiumTech die yet, at least until they actually say something, but yeah the silence is driving me nuts

there will be no more starfield content by bethedas. They completly focus on tes6.

You have misunderstood them, they haven’t ment starfield would be a 10 year game, what they really meant is that they will go silent about the game for the next 10 years, after that time we will get a new skin and maybe a new trailer for a remake and then we wait another 10 years for the 16k resolution remake.

If they don’t want to continue their work then they should atleast give the xbox modding completely free so someone can port genesis completely over to Xbox

They can’t makeup the way they have treated the players of this game. From the media hype to the launch of the gutted live service gsme shell. The buggy Shattered Space loooks like cht content from the main launch to use for filler while they milk us for mod money especially on console. The only thing that just works about this game is our payment cards. I’ve purchased t5 mods 55. They don’t deserve another penny from me. Don’t care who they advertise as a mod maker either.

I played years ago on PlayStation, but stop when they wanted you to get PlayStation Plus in order to play online. So now I play on PC with out an extra expenses.

Usual Bethseda jank. Hats off to you Crimson for covering this.

The shadow drop of Oblivion was pretty genius, because its the equivalent to that candy bar you see at check out. It was Impulse buy, unfortunately the success of it, and it was a success, will probably influence Bethesda business strategies in the future. I did the same thing myself with marijuana in Texas at the convenience store I run, its now the new Egg McMuffin, these people gotta have it now before work so they get it for breakfast. As far as Playstation Drop being profitable, they make SOME money… but Sony is harsh with modding with its only in game assets can be used rule. No one mods Bethesda games with as much fun as PC or X Box. Maybe knowing they will probably shadow drop will bring a little hope? I don’t prefer it myself either but… Money Talks and you know they loved that huge spike in income the day that Oblivion Dropped.

The worst thing about starfield is that everyone who is familiar with the game knows what the issues are and everyone wants them fixed, but the only one’s who can actually fix them (Bethesda) just refuse to do so

i heard quite the opposite about the money made off Starfield. Starfield actually went far above their expectations.

im not giving up on it just yet, 94 days played so far

I’m not sure how I feel about starfield ive 72 days in the game i must spend 2000 creations points most weeks on paid mods but its mods making the game improvements. So instead of buying mods this week ive just bought cyberpunk and now waiting for helldivers 2 to DL let’s see if these crash like Bethesda games

I appreciate the gesture, but seriously, we need to stop AI-based French dubbing. 😅

And yet you’re surprised? This is nothing new from them

Something’s sure to come from Bethesda. I really2 hope so. I’m not ready to give up on Starfield just yet.

I was quite sad about the silence
