Endearing itself to gamers, even more, the developers behind The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 games just shared their thoughts on loot boxes. It would seem that CD Projekt Red is not crazy about microtransactions at all, at least not in how so many other companies are using them.
It’s worth noting that the polish development company does have a game that involves microtransactions in the form of the card game Gwent. However, it’s entirely possible to participate in the online title without buying anything, which is more than what Blizzard’s Hearthstone can say. In a recent interview with PC Gamer, CEO Adam Kiciński reveals why.
Apparently, the top dog at CD Projekt views loot boxes with disdain and says that full-priced games should come with everything. He also shared his thoughts the recent controversy surrounding the issue.
"'Conversation' sounds way too nice to describe what was happening last year. I would rather call it community backlash," Iwiński said. "And this time around, it wasn’t just the hardcore community, there were a lot of really pissed off gamers out there and they decided to speak up. Where we stand is quite simple and you could see it with all of our past releases—most recently The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and GWENT. If you buy a full priced game, you should get a big, polished piece of content, which gives you many, many hours of fun gameplay.
"The definition of ‘many’ may vary on a title-by-title basis, but in our case it was always 50-60+ hours of the main story-line, with up to a couple of hundred of hours of side activities—if you really wanted to max out the title. To me, this is a fair deal. You get what you paid for, plus we are always trying our best to overdeliver. There is no better PR than a happy gamer recommending your title to their friends."
That’s why Iwiński believes that the controversy is good for the industry, PlayStation Lifestyle reports. Perhaps it will help steer the large ship in a better direction.
