From what I've seen (I don't have the game myself) the key point of this game is that it offers a platform to build on, with the main quest as a kind of "game sample". When they supply a proper support for mods and DLCs, there is a good chance that this game will really thrive.

That just translates to empty and unfinished game. We need less of those.

If you need mods to thrive, thats kinda like saying that deer corpse just needs some fungal action to thrive.

Its dead, jim. Someone else is eating it to grow something new, but theyre eating it because its dead.

We will see. The overall platform is not bad, and I expect it to grow. It all depends on how good they will expand on it. Minecraft was way worse when it started.

Minecraft was in alpha and beta states for years, and its modding community treats mods as if they were completely different games.

It is not favorable to starfield to compare it to minecraft, imo
