    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.

        Yeah, but people don’t listen and make up their own headcanon, only to be sorely disappointed.

        We’ve seen that time and time again.

        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.
