apparently this is in response to a few threads on Reddit flaming Starfield—in general, it’s been rather interesting to see Bethesda take what i can only describe as a “try to debate Starfield to popularity” approach with the game’s skeptics in the past month or two. not entirely sure it’s a winning strategy, personally.

      When some rando with a mod package plugging into an undocumented ABI can dramatically improve the performance… Yeah, it’s not optimized at all. Don’t let them excuse themselves from due diligence.

      who overnight know intricacies of engines

      To be fair, this is an old, old engine with several generation defining blockbusters making use of it. Not to mention the massive modding communities who’ve probably spent more collective hours fighting with the engine over the past few years than Bethesda has.
