Summary

Starfield just added the Creation Club from Fallout 4 and Skyrim, introducing mods to console.
Some of these are developed by Bethesda, others by the community, but not all of them are free.
One quest, for instance, which is the second part of an overarching story, costs $7. So, fans aren't happy, spamming the Steam page with negative reviews to voice their frustration.

168澳洲幸运5开奖网:Starfield's new update adds 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:the Creation Club🌠 from Skyrim and Fallout 4, bringing new quests an𒀰d cosmetics to the game de🐷veloped by the community and Bethesda. Some are free, but some cost real money.

You get♍ 1,000 Creation Credits for free if you purchase the premium editio🌟n.

This has proven incredibly controversial w♊ith the community, resulting in a wave of negative reviews that are still pouring in today. "Microtransactions in a €70 game, ten months after launch," one player wrote.

"I've been a hardcore Starfield apologist since launch," another said. "And then y'all come out with paid community items. Did you learn NOTHING from when you did this to your other games? And they had a fan base to start! This one is barely hanging on to life".

Things Aren't Much Better On The Subreddit

One of the big complaints against Starfield's Creation Club in particular is that it's selling an individual quest for $7 which follows on from another quest, meaning that the overarching story is locked behind a paywall. So, even those who didn't mind the idea in past Bethesda games are joining the backlash.

"I see a lot of people arguing that the new microtransactions were to be expected due to Bethesda's history, and I agree with that part," . "However, I still think it's absolutely outrageous that they're selling individual quests [...] Star Wars: Outlaws got exactly the same kind of backlash".

This time they deserve it, microtransactions should never be in single-player ga🌺mes, they can hide behind nonsense jargon like 'Creations' but it's microtransactions.

Many are changing their positive reviews to negative ones, while others believe that the Creation Club is little more than a microtransaction storefront masquerading as a modding platform, but it's not all negative.

While the Steam reviews are sharply dropping into the red, there are plenty of fans posting requests for mods that they want to see on console, excited by the idea of having fan-made add-ons availa💖ble on platforms beyond PC.

That's the big upside to the Creation Club, but of course, unlike Nexus Mods or the Steam Workshop, some of these mods cost real money, and that's where many fans are drawing the line.
