A Sliding Score Means ‘Starfield’ Is Now Xbox Series X’s 47th Highest Rated Game (www.forbes.com)

When the review embargo first dropped, Starfield was sitting at something like an 88 on Xbox and an 89 on PC. Not 90+ the way I think Bethesda may have been hoping, and yet still extremely good.

I was upset when Spiderman on PS4 was an exclusive

Exclusives are actively hurting the consumer, being upset is normal.

Hate for something because you can't play it is just wild

If it's because someone decided they can milk more money by making it exclusive, it's not that wild.

Just like people hating on huge houses or seeing expansive cars just because they don't have it

It seems your world view is dominated by jealousy a lot and you project it onto others. I hate huge houses and expensive cars because it's just to show everyone around how rich you are and serves no other purpose. All that while other people suffer and struggle to survive.

I mean, I get where you're coming from. But this didn't start with Starfield, and Sony has a great track record of even more restrictive platforming than Xbox does. Microsoft games are now usually accompanied by some kind of PC access.

Not an excuse, but expecting Microsoft to extend an olive branch of non-exclusivity to Sony when they have historically been incredibly averse to it themselves is not really a realistic expectation.
