LogIn$7 is too much for a single quest, they say.
Bethesda
When Bethesda announced its Creation Kit for Starfield, I knew Nexus Mods wouldn't be out of content. If you, like me, wondered why the company tries so hard to avoid calling Creations mods, this is probably because mods are usually free.
Well, it's fine if you pay players for their custom content, but when the company asks $7 for a single mission, players find an issue with that. The game's latest update introduced new Trackers Alliance missions; the problem is one of them, The Vulture, is only available as a Starfield Creation for $7, or rather $10 as you'll need to buy 1,000 Starfield Creation Credits.
As PC Gamer noted, Starfield's Premium Edition is $35 and includes 1,000 Creation Credits along with many other perks like the full Shattered Space expansion, the Constellation skin pack, digital art book, and soundtrack, which makes the $7 mission a little too expensive in comparison. But that's probably the point – to make players purchase the version that will bring Bethesda more money.
More importantly, some players say that this "sets a dangerous precedent" as it might encourage companies to sell only parts of content, cheaper for one piece but overall much more expensive than the whole package. We don't want another Paradox, right?
Others argue that buying Creations is optional and you can live without them easily. Plus, it's good to support content creators. It's true, but I hope we don't see another way of siphoning money out of players popularized.
Meanwhile, Starfield's reviews are suffering again, it just can't get out of the Mixed category. "Are you this desperate for modders to fix your game on a budget, instead of doing it yourself with developers on an actual payroll?" asked one player. It looks like websites offering free mods will never be out of fashion.
