Starfield is courting more controversy now than ever, and the situation has gotten severe enough to be directly addressed by developer Bethesda Game Studios. The spacefaring RPG has always been divisive, with complaints about repetition and a lack of interesting content compared to Bethesda’s previous games sometimes overriding the game’s strong points. The recent introduction of paid mods added fuel to the fire, and an official Bethesda mission being released through the Starfield Creations platform at a price resulted in a significant surge in negative reviews.
