Yeah, Starfield...

With the release of the immensely popular creation club they gave half a quest for free, rest of it costs 700 creation credits, so you need to buy the 1000 pack on which they also charge 1 euro cent more than 2 times the 500 pack to actually finish the quest. First of all why not give the whole quest for free ("celebrating the release of creation club" Bethesda said), but then set a predatory price point as well imo.

They are like drug dealers giving you a first hit for free and hoping you get hooked in and buy more packs, 300 credits won't even get you half a quest.

It makes sense Bethesda would do it. They're owned by Microsoft, who started the trend of pseudo-currency sold in packs that don't match prices twenty years ago.
