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.
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.
