Bethesda’s Todd Howard Responds to Starfield’s Paid Mod Controversy – IGN Daily Fix – IGN

Starfield’s user reviews have taken a hit after fans spoke out against Bethesda’s paid mods for the game. Starfield’s “Trackers Alliance” was updated with a new quest, but Bethesda considers it a “mod” and charges $7 for it, which obviously has angered the community. Studio head Todd Howard said in an interview that they were willing to adjust as long as they’re giving value to everyone, including players and mod creators. In other news, FromSoftware’s Hidetaka Miyazaki doesn’t think he’s created his ideal fantasy RPG in Elden Ring, and would love for someone else to make that game so he can enjoy it just as a fan. And finally, a new Nintendo Direct has been announced for tomorrow, 7am PT. No, there won’t be any Switch 2 news, but expect 40 minutes of trailers for new upcoming games.
