I only sample the finest 10/10 works of art

No? I'll admit that something like Enderal: Forgetten Stories, while very fun and better than Skyrim in a lot of ways, is still like an 8/10 even though I like it a lot. If we're going on the game alone and not how great and generous the developers are to the community, Deep Rock Galactic is a 9/10.

have no time for lowly 7/10 slop that the peasents enjoy.

7/10 for Starfield is incredibly generous. It's a 5/10 if we're all being honest and not circlejerking about Bethesda.

If only they'd accept that I know better what they should be allowed to enjoy

You can like and play whatever you want.

But if you share the opinion that overall quality of games, especially triple A titles, has gone down in the past 10-15 years, and you can sit here and give Starfield: Yet Another Wide as an Ocean but Deep as a Puddle + Boring Experience from Bethesda ™️ is a 7/10; I don't think you really have the right to complain about the declining quality of video games when you're essentially contributing to it by claiming incredibly mediocre games are above average.

If you feel good that you paid $70-100 for what's really feels like a $40 barely out of early-access game, hey, I can't change your mind.
