Bethesda Game Studios chief Todd Howard has responded to a backlash over Starfield paid mods, confirming the developer will look at its pricing model for Creations content.
I can tell you with 99.9% certainty the developers did and do not give a duck about this or might even be opposed to the pricing model.
Why would you rope them in? It’s not like Ben from level design personally specified the price of the missions. Why even involve them? If that’s PR that makes it so much worse for me if they are trying to blame different departments internally. What a clusterfuck, I’m sorry for the humble low level employee who are being mangled in this mess. You are not the reason this is shit, but your bosses bosses made you part of this clown fiesta.
fwiw the quote is singular developer. They mean the developer of the game, Bethesda, will take a look and reevaluate. Nowhere are they suggesting Bethesda will involve literal software engineers in a dispute about $7 content. That would be insane, as you suggest.
the term developer is highly overloaded. in the games industry it can either mean “the company producing the game” or “an individual software developer working on a game.” i think more often it is used in the first sense, especially in reporting.

Maybe I got that wrong then…
