    Older, cheaper game with a vastly larger modding scene has more players? No shit, Sherlock!

      Don’t forget most people bought Skyrim before it was on game pass, and starfield launched on it

      Yeah this type of ‘news’ is pointless. Regardless of which is better, there is just far more content for Skyrim. Of course it has more longevity.

        Yeah? So does Fallout 4 and it has lower player numbers currently…

          Melee combat appeals to a broader base with fewer quality options. If you feel like playing a shooter with a decent story, there is more competition to Fallout 4. Fallout 76 comes to mind.

          That sounded sassier than I meant. But that gameplay style will split users into a wider number of titles, was my point.
