You can throw as many buzzwords at it as you like, but that doesn’t diminish the lived experience of people who had fun with the game. Why are you so insistent on convincing people they didn’t enjoy it? There must be a buzzword for that mindset too.
I’m not convincing people they didn’t enjoy it. I’m merely suggesting that you could be experiencing choice-supportive bias. If you’re truly happy with your investment, then by all means, continue enjoying it. Just don’t be shocked when someone with different standards shares an opinion that blindsides you and compels you counter it.
Ever met someone who bought a crappy car and they’re like, “oh yeah, I love this car”, and you’re thinking, “I would never buy a car like that. No one should” They obviously see a value in it that you do not, however justified their view of that purchase is.
I just think that most of the long-time Bethesda fans, if they haven’t already, will one day realize that Starfield wasn’t all it was cracked up to be. If they’re relatively new to Bethesda games, that’s probably a different story for a different generation of gamers. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

What about the people who played it on Game Pass and still enjoyed it.
I’m just happy you got to use the new term you learned! Color me impressed!
