Like Starfield, for example. Or the recent Quake 2 remaster. Microsoft owns Bethesda, Obsidian, id and plenty of other big name studios.

I haven’t tried it, but according to reviews Starfield seems like a generic space soap opera version of No Man’s Sky with loading screens.
> Microsoft owns Bethesda

This... explains a lot. The user-hostile experience, the lack of innovation of their game engine, the ability to buy fantastic reviews. I never knew the two were connected.

Not really, it doesn’t explain much if anything. Since they only bought Bethesda in 2021
Ah okay. Just two bad companies. Thanks for the correction
They began making Starfield years before MS bought Zenimax
