Starfield was Xbox's biggest and most monumental flagship game release, yet it didn't even make it into the top 10 video games with the highest marketing spend in the U.S. last year. Moreover, the game only supports 9 languages, which is the lowest among all Xbox first-party games that typically support an average of 18 languages.

It's as if they knew it was going to be a mediocre game and spent money accordingly. Even Jedi Survivor had more.

The game Microsoft spent the most on advertising last year was Minecraft.

>whale tier audience for things I am into
>have adblock
>don't watch tv or shitty influencers
>haven seen a vidya ad in 3-4 years, except when I watch major multi-publisher events here with you faggots
>buy if I see something interesting on gog or steam and that is it
None of those millions they spend can reach me, and I couldn't feel happier about that

of course they knew it was gonna flop. that's why they bundled it with as many gpus as they could. good games don't get sent out as add ons.
