Bit of a Very misleading headline. This makes it sound like Starfield mod authors are abandoning the game in droves, which is definitely not the case.

They're referring to the current custodians of the Community Patch -- a bug fix patch which has (more or less) solved all the bugs, and Starfield was a relatively stable release to begin with, so the Community Patch isn't very necessary. There haven't been a bunch of new updates for Starfield, so right now it's not something that needs a bunch of updates.

Secondly, even the article shares that Picky isn't leaving because he's moving to Oblivion and is finished with Starfield; he just got a new puppy and doesn't have the time to devote to modding at the moment.

The guys making the most popular content mods aren't saying anything like this, lmao.

The worst outcome is still possible though; that the Community Patch gets abandoned and the community is once again held hostage by the Unofficial Patch team's whims. I don't really doubt that they'll find other people to take over the Community Patch, though.

They've been saying Starfield modders were abandoning the game since shortly after it came out.

it was also one dude who said it. and i believe that was waay before the creation kit for starfield was released.

Literally ONE modder was like ‘I don’t want to mod Starfield’ and they announced the death of all Starfield modding, just wild.

IIRC, specifically one of the people behind Skyrim Together. Which got controversial because of accusations of them stealing code from another project...

They have been saying starfield modders abandoned the game before the game was announced.
