Even thoughStarfieldisn’t out yet, there’s been so much content and sneak previews for the game that some people are trying to piece it together ahead of schedule. For example, one person has decided to recreate an outpost styled after the upcoming sci-fi RPG in something other than Bethesda’s in-house engine.

‘Switch port please’ I don’t really get the stigma attached to ‘port begging.’ Sure, some exclusives are great, as they wouldn’t have otherwise been made without the backing of a specific angel investor, and the terms of those deals often stipulate that they must remain exclusive.
