Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions Co-Founder Talks Ethical Game Design and Wholesome Co-Op

Game Rant spoke with Adam Bromell, co-founder and creative director of System Era, about their new game, *Starseeker*. Bromell stressed the studio’s commitment to creating a welcoming experience for players, avoiding the manipulative tactics common in many live-service games. *Starseeker* will not include any purchases with real money, and the developers plan to design seasonal events so players don’t feel pressured to participate or like they’re missing out. The goal is to create a game that continues to grow and improve without leaving anyone behind. This interview has been shortened and clarified for readability.
