Lead CP2077 dev says "this fake criticism is actively harmful" of Starfield comparisons

Following some players making some pretty silly comparisons between Cyberpunk 2077 and Starfield, one of the former’s lead devs has offered his take on the matter.

Earlier this week, gamers decided to be gamers about Bethesda’s latest release by making some just plain pointless comparisons between Starfield and Cyberpunk. The points made really weren’t anything even making a point of, but people love to just log on and post, I guess. But Cyberpunk loremaster Patrick K. Mills shared what he thought of the so-called criticisms on his personal Twitter account (thanks, GamesRadar). Spoiler: he also thought they were silly.

“How times have changed,” Mills wrote, quote tweeting one of the videos comparing the two games. “[To be clear] this fake criticism is actively harmful to the way the audience interacts with the medium and I hate it, but it’s very funny to see after how many hundreds of these were made to ridicule CP2077.”
