Starfield’s Paid Mods Ignite A Review Bombing On Steam

[Fenton]

Starfield costs $70 USD. For that you get a Bethesda-ass Bethesda game of Bethesda proportions, just way more barren than you might expect. It’s all cut up into little pieces partitioned off by menus and loading screens. The quests don’t allow for a lot of freedom of choice, despite some neat concepts here and there in the main story.

“Broken boring game,” reads one review. “Putting mods behind a paywall is a big no for me.” “Creator’s club is a scam,” reads another. Another states, “Paid mods on top of an already mediocre, $70 Dollar game? What a joke.”

Frustration over paid mods continues to be a sore spot among fans (and critics) of Bethesda games

I thought the Xbox review bombing was positive news. See the embarrassing positive reviews of HI FI Rush after the devs were shit canned. Dopey cunts rewarding MS for binning actual talent in their ranks.

Can you actually review bomb Starfield at this stage?

Bethesda are asking the mod community to pay them to fix their game?
Lol, lmao even.

Bethesda and their long history of monetization going further and further.

Review bombing where its required to own the game, complete morons that paid for this garbage and have no rigth to complain about anything.

This post is extraordinarily dumb. Hard to imagine a person actually wrote this.

This kind of boycott was relevant when they did it with Skyrim.
With Starfield on Steam it's just...

Todd Howard just tweeted Starfield has reached 14 million players to distract from this review bombing lol.

That's 1 million players in 5 months?

Forza Horizon 5 was nearing 20 million players within the same time frame. lol
