Starfield patches in a round of fixes while sacrificing the infinite money glitch

Starfield's latest patch has gone live on console and PC, adding a small helping of meaningful fixes, and one that may not be so welcome to the game's cheesier players.

It's already a relatively stable experience compared to prior titles in the studio's repertoire — particularly in month one — so I'm
