But it'll actually cost players $10 because they must purchase 1,000 Starfield creation credits to afford it.

At first, I read this as if you needed to ingest a verification can before you're allowed to make a purchase. But alas, it is the usual shit where you have to buy their fake money.

I thought that credit shit died after the 7th gen and its wii/xbox points.

That it still exists, only for a single game baffles me.

Only for a single game? That shit is in almost every multiplayer game I play nowadays. Valorant, Apex Legends, Dead by Daylight...

Pretty sure he meant that each type of credit only works for one game and yes, it's real dumb.

Ah, you're right! I failed to grab that context.
