Microsoft promises Starfield has “fewest bugs” of any Bethesda game

Xbox exec: "Every QA person in our... company [is] playing Starfield right now."

Ars Technica
@arstechnica That’s all well and good…but is every Bethesda dev fixing those bugs?
@arstechnica when not having bugs is a selling point
@arstechnica "less bugs of any Bethesda game" is putting the bar so low it's practically a tripping hazard in hell
@arstechnica That might explain why no QA person plays Microsoft Teams anymore.
@oli @arstechnica I am wondering if QA persons have ever played Microsoft Teams…
@arstechnica I would hope so given it’s been in development since 2016.
@arstechnica lmao love the way this is worded.
> "y'all know the company known for it's buggy games?"
> "yeah for once apparently there's actually not as many bugs"
> :D
> "buy our game"

(fr tho i'm this 🤏 close to snatch up that watch)
@arstechnica sign me up I'll do it for free 😁
@arstechnica Really? They haven't figured out a way to "DevOps" away the QA team, like they did for rest of Microsoft?

@arstechnica

OK, I want y'all to play test it real good until I buy it at the 2025 Steam Summer Sale.

(If Steam still exists)

@arstechnica Define “fewer” bugs:

Infinity - 1 = Infinity

Sorry #bethesda no hate… I still love your bug-ridden but delightful games and will likely play the shit out of this one  

@arstechnica @donmelton good luck, just remember, the people you are reporting those bugs to, are the same people who wrote them in the first place, while working at the height of their skill… and debugging an issue is infinitely harder than causing it.
@arstechnica am I the only person who read this headline and thought: „so less giant ants and radroach-like enemies in this one huh“
