Unlikely. Bethesda has carved out a slot for itself as one of the most popular and profitable devs. Starfield sold extremely well, even though the reviews and hype have seemingly crashed down back to earth now. My point being they can get away with mediocrity, unfortunately
not true, especially with games like starfield, were people tried to force themselves to enjoy it, and then you get a one star review after 100+ hours...thats as close as you can get to the truth
tbf people are emotional because they wanted an evolution of skyrim and fallout and they got something worse.
todd said we have this great new engine and exploration on a level you have never seen before, while creation engine still looks like hot garbage and there is no exploration at all. you get a list of fast travel locations and half of those locations are not worth visiting.
i gave it a 6/10 for main story and factions alone and i liked interior graphics detail (rendered buttons etc.) but it did feel much worse than a 6/10 to me. it felt like i wasted my time on that game.
thats what persuades some people to give it the lowest ranking possible.
of course there are always trolls that give low scores, because they hated some kind of social/political message, thats true. just look at TLOU2

Cool, hopefully it gets better over time and Bethesda takes the criticism to heart on whatever project they make next.
Starfield is a fun enough game but it could have been a lot better and a lot less tedious to navigate both in menus and in space.
