    Probably because it was compared with Elite Dangerous and Star Citizen a lot. I saw a lot of talk about it in those communities. And the YouTubers who cover those games posted a lot of videos about Starfield too. So at least from that perspective, I can understand why folks would. I certainly thought there was going to be some element of space sim in it.

        Well, if some people are anything like me then there’s a bunch of people who had no interest in the hype train, didn’t watch those YouTube videos and just went off of the video titles when they popped up in subscriptions.
