The recent release of a creation club for Starfield – delivering content from Bethesda and modders for purchasable credits as the studio’s previously done with Skyrim and Fallout 4 – drew a lot of backlash from players. Bethesda’s Todd Howard has now addressed the controversy and indicated that the studio could be looking at making some changes to the initiative going forwards.
If you’re out of the loop, the big sticking point with this iteration of Bethesda’s ever-polarising attempts to intergrate some form of add-on system that allows for ‘paid mods’ was the pricing, especially when it came to one Trackers Alliance quest. With that second quest based around the faction being behind the paywall, while the first Trackers Alliance mission was given out for free, some players were annoyed that it looked like they’d be paying a lot more for this and upcoming Trackers Alliance content than they might otherwise do if it was all released as one DLC pack.
In an interview with YouTuber MrMattyPlays, game director Todd Howard was asked about this controversy, and responded by suggesting the studio will be looking into potentially revising how it proces and packages creation club content in light of the backlash.
