Mods have been available for the game since day one pretty much . That's one of the biggest problems with the pricing on the creation club . That ship module take for instance for $10 , Nexus has had mods that are better than that for 9 months already .

I'm more a fan of "buying the author a coffee" etc. That i felt went to the creator (and wasn't taxed on the way past.) like if someone does some building work for me I pay the contractor not the company that made their hammer. As for the Vulture thing well personally I'm going to leave it and see where it goes, if it gets added to with more bounties then maybe but if you're going to have to buy each bounty at that price then well...

I find it so strange that Bethesda had no problem with modders working for free since Morrowind in 2003. But when the big mods like Enderal suddenly had Patreon support that directly funded the modders? Suddenly Bethesda cares about setting up a system that gets modders (And Bethesda) paid. Funny coincidence.

Modders getting paid based on people buying their mods is simpler, fairer, and all around better. You are suggesting something strictly worse, and no doubt if Bethesda listened to you you'd be here whining about whatever calculation they used to decide value. There is no winning with trolls who argue in bad faith and Bethesda shouldn't try.

At 3:32 you might want to read the paragraph having to do with the UGC under terms and conditions in starfield. It's so weird people keep saying that the developers of the material on creations need to get paid. I don't think they've read the terms and conditions either. If it helps I believe it's section 18 or section 19 but there is always the key in terms and conditions you can read yourself and then go to the corresponding information. Notice they did not change something.

Meanwhile, people are spending thousands on Star Citizen ships, and it’s not even a game yet. It is a paid demo at best. Blizzard charges $60 per character boost, $20 for a wow token, $25 for mounts in the store, and you pay $15 a month to play it. New world charged $30 for a two hour quest and mounts, which was supposed to be free, oh and their new zone was a reskin of an existing zone you can’t access anymore. People paid for each Destiny 2 expansion, only to have all of them sunset, and no longer accessible for players who already owned them. I could go on and on. My point is, don’t buy it if you don’t like the pricing.

@@Grogeous_Maximus No, I was saying they dropped the ball and made a mistake in the way they did the content creation tracker alliance mission no doubt, but they were selling a cosmetic/weapon pack with a quest attached. They were not selling it as a dlc, they made a costly mistake in that regard. But to act like they are trying to gouge people is stupid, it is optional content. If it had been a mandatory mission to progress the main story or something, that’s entirely wrong and a different subject altogether.

At this point they should have expected this after the last two creation clubs. They could at least have done away with that stupid credits system so you can just pay what you need to. I'm not completely against payed mods assuming they're actually quality work and the modder gets higher than 90% of the cut. Personally a mod like the tracker's alliance quest should be far more appropriate somewhere towards $2-3.

The prices were fine, and its also fine if they choose to adjust them, but you not valuing something at a given price doesn't make it overpriced. Its optional, extra content. They could charge ten times as much and that would kinda suck, but it wouldn't be wrong or immoral, any price is arbitrary and all optional content is optional.
