Honestly, games need to sell DLC to make money. At least they allow mods for additional content.

IMHO compared to other RPG developers, CDPR is pretty good at what they do, and listening to their player base. I'm not suggesting they be celebrated for being "not total garbage", but most AAA studios are exactly that. If I want a good RPG game and I'm supposed to vote with my wallet, I'm picking Cyberpunk over Starfield.

Yeah, it's really ashame that most AAA companies opt in the quick and easy ways these days. Especially with CDPR, since most of us saw them grow with the witcher series. But I will die on the hill in agreeing with you that Cyberpunk did better in most aspects than Starfield upon release, other than the amount of bugs. In my opinion, Starfield has taken Bethesda's outdated "RPG" formula and became something even more bland and hollow than their last game. It's really sad and disappointing to see honestly
