GoronmonCD Projekt CFO does "not see a place for microtransactions in single-player games"
The time has come for macrotransactions instead
m-p{3}I’m all in for the return of actual game expansions.
It is kinda funny how people have no issue paying for it all together as bundle, but separate it so people can pay for things individually is silly.
I would rather have a story for $10 and $1 outfits I can ignore, than to spend $30 on a story and bunch of cosmetics that don’t add to the game.
This is just marketing, nothing more.
People did have issues paying for it all together, back when they were called “expansion packs.”
I don’t mind paying for more of the game. I do mind paying for fixes to a broken game. I don’t mind optional cosmetic upgrades, but I don’t like pay-to-win, even in single player (looking at you, Nintendo amiibos).
But regardless, people are going to complain, and many of their complaints will be valid.
People had different issues with those, that was because online was a portion of it, and people thought devs were holding content back just to make more money. Obviously some did that, but they started painting every dev with that brush.
Every change has been a reactionary effort to adjust for the market changes and using it to their marketing advantage.
