Bruce Nesmith, a senior systems designer for Microsoft Corp's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Starfield, shared insights on the game's development and suggested that the expansive nature of the game might have had its downsides. The game boasts approximately 1,000 procedurally generated planets to explore, but many players have observed that a significant portion of this vast terrain feels desolate. Nesmith expressed concerns this expansion might have come at the expense of more meaningful content within the game.
