You'll probably find that a lot of planets in Starfield are pretty boring, but Bethesda says that's kind of the point.

Seriously? On the very slim chance you’re actually just this clueless about polite communication,

Did they pay you to write this? Are you forcing yourself to enjoy the game because you paid so much? Or am I insane?

It’s not the third line of that that people object to, it’s what is implied by the entire statement. We assume you don’t consider yourself insane, because that’s obviously hyperbole, which means you do seem to think that anyone who disagrees with you is either a shill or stuck in a sunk cost fallacy.

Consider the alternate phrasing of that entire statement, eg. “I’m just not seeing it. Am I insane or something?” And then the rest of your post. Nobody would be nearly so irritated with you in that context.

Alright. In text maybe you are right.
Im a firm believer that if we like, sat in a bar discussing over a beer, and you could hear the tone of my voice and read my face, no-one would be offended.

Probably, but this isn’t a bar and your face and tone aren’t visible, your meaning can only be judged by the letter of what you wrote.
