Starfield players outraged: Bounty quest locked behind paywall

Starfield's latest update introduced a new bounty hunting system but has stirred controversy among players. While the update includes free features like the bounty scanner system and the Elite Trackers Alliance mission board, a specific quest called "The Vulture" is only available through the Creation Club for 700 credits. This paywall has sparked frustration among the community.

Players are upset because they feel Bethesda's pricing model for the "The Vulture" quest is too high, with 700 credits costing around $9.99. They argue it’s a steep price for a single quest, particularly when compared to DLC packs of similar value that typically offer more content.

Starfield, developed by Bethesda Game Studios, is a highly-anticipated space exploration RPG. The Creation Club is a platform introduced by Bethesda to monetize mods and additional content. The controversy revolves around Bethesda's approach to integrating paid content into the game, reflecting ongoing tensions within the community about monetization practices.
