“I Really Don’t Like That” – Bethesda Exec Lashes Out At Online Leaks Ahead of Starfield Launch in September

Bethesda is very much excited about their upcoming project Starfield. This outer-space-themed role-playing game stole the hearts of fans with forty-five minutes detailed trailer, Starfield Direct. Now before its launch on the 6th of September, fans and Starfield maniacs are bringing exclusive leaks to ignite the spark of anticipation. 

While we witnessed many popular Starfield leaks, Bethesda’s Director of Public Relations lashed out at the sources. Developers not only invest their time to bring a game, but they try to give a one-of-a-kind experience to the players. When important gameplay details are leaked, it truly impacts the hard work of the developers. For a massive project like Starfield, leaks can surely hamper viewers’ excitement, which Bethesda tried to contain for a long. 

Bethesda executive criticized Starfield-related leaks

Undoubtedly, Starfield is one of the most-anticipated releases of the year 2023. Looking at the fan-made theories and trailers, one can surely confirm the Starfield mania among people. In fact, Death Stranding creator Hideo Kojima shared similar excitement about this Xbox exclusive.

Not many days passed, since Starfield’s in-game achievements were leaked, and Bethesda’s Director of Public Relations Matt Frary revealed his opinion on the matter. Talking about his dislike for leaks, Frary further stated that he even hates big production houses simply choose to reveal leaks for promotions- “When the big outlets do it to get around embargoes they have on their own code? Oh, I really don’t like that. “

Although Frary didn’t refer to Starfield while talking about his opinion on game leaks, fans could totally link his comment to the recent Starfield leak about fifty in-game achievements for players. Following Bethesda’s long hard work for Starfield, Frary’s statement can be easily justified by saying that leaks shouldn’t spoil the years-long preparation for Starfield’s release in September. 

Fans raised support for Frary’s comment

While you may think that people are truly satisfied with Starfield’s theories and leaks, then you are wrong. Since Bethesda’s Matt Frary spoke against game leaks, his Twitter thread showed many comments from fans in his favor. People were spotted talking about how sources reveal game details as leaks for small-time fame- “It pisses me off because every time someone leaks something for their 5 minutes of internet fame, they make it harder for everyone else to get access in the future.”

People accepted that game leaks surely disappoint the developers and their hard work- “That is why I stopped covering leaks awhile ago. When I first started my channel, I was a bit ignorant about how they affected devs.”

The majority of the community agreed that game leaks are lame even if it makes buyers excited- “I understand people are excited but leaking info is just such a lame way to reveal stuff IMO.”

People asked if Bethesda knows any means to stop these leaks- “Can Bethesda bar the code so leakers can’t continue?”

In a nutshell, people didn’t support the coverage of leaks.
