Luke does take time to talk about the creation club and official $7 mods being a bad value for money, and dwarfed by the size and quality of cheaper $5 community created mods.... I think that is deliberate, its a form of sales pricing strategy. You anchor a bad value that nobody would take, to make the middle priced thing seem like a really good value, to encourage volume of sales. If MS is taking a 75% cut for community mods in the creation club for starfield.. Selling a bunch of those $5 community mods is a massive win for them, even if it does require they release expensive and poor value official mods to make them look like a good deal.
