Recently, it was announced that microtransactions are coming to PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds that will allow players to buy cosmetic items. It immediately caused an uproar, with gamers complaining that it should not be part of the game. PlayerUnknown decided to address the issue and explain that the in-game economy is already final.
Microtransactions in games have become a divisive element, with one side saying that it ruins the experience and the other having no problems with the economy so long as it’s only cosmetic. In the case of PUBG, PlayerUnknown released a letter apologizing for the way communication was handled on the issue while also stating that microtransactions are here to stay.
“I do understand your concerns about the system, but I feel testing for a sturdy economy on the Steam Marketplace is necessary at this stage and ultimately beneficial for the game. And once again, this is a purely optional system, and you are not forced into participating if you do not feel like it,” the letter reads.
As to why the developers decided to add the microtransactions now as opposed to the official release of the game, PlayerUnknown said that it is meant for testing purposes. This makes sense since the whole point of Early Access is to work out the kinks in the system and if microtransactions are meant to be part of that system, it should be addressed now.
Aside from the fact that a lot of gamers simply do not like microtransactions in their games, there is also the fact that PlayerUnknown has actually said in the past that PUBG will not have such a system while in Early Access, Polygon reports. This gave players the impression that PlayerUnknown could not be relied upon to keep his promises and was actually the same as other evil developers that are only in it for the money.
