Guessing this is like a deus ex or dead space situation where it's a decision added late in development that didn't affect game balance in any meaningful way.
That's probably exactly why they were implemented. Recurrent revenue may soften the blow of an anticipated light launch.
And just like with Deus Ex and Dead Space 3, people who haven't actually played the game will claim it's ruined the balancing and they're shoved in your face at every opportunity.
They sound like the typical throw away micro transactions that have no affect on the game itself.
Well then I'm not buying it now, would have if they were just cosmetic but then they crossed the line.
Obviously you can't just quote the full article, but the other paragraph is pretty important:
Damned if they do, damned if they don't. These sorts of games don't sell much these days, and gamers won't tolerate prices rising with inflation, or at all, but already we see the hot takes from people declaring the game is dead to them, without even knowing the specifics of what is offered and that it probably has zero effect on how they'd be playing the game.
Not super bothered since I would never buy them but to echo others, that "some of our players are busy in their real lvies and just want everything unlocked" logic never washed with me. If you recognise that, why not just have a cheat code option in the menu for those folks? Not sure where it being a paid service comes from. Rage 2 leaned into this in fact, and is really fun for it.
Is this even a big game....I noticed it's cheaper than usual....why am I gonna need to speed up my progress,lol.
Loved W2 and was excited for Youngblood. But unfortunately I don't support this kind of stuff so I'm out.
Yep. I swear these are only written as news threads to incite that sort of reaction.
Having finished The New Colossus this past week, I can't imagine there will be any sort of demand for that option. The games are short enough experiences that it doesn't really seem worthwhile, but I guess everyone's free time is different.
Doesn't affect me because I can play the game and unlock them myself
Have the Deluxe Edition preordered and can't wait to give my friend a buddy pass

Update: Bethesda denies it
I dont know how this implementation will turn out. It maybe benign or awful. But I genuinely hate this bullshit explanation that comes up EVERY single time a dev tries to soft peddle MT's that change gameplay. Because it is fat fucking nothing of a commitment. We dont know how much of a grind you have made the "process to acquire" these items. It could just be you are selling us cheat codes (which is not great but its kinda acceptable these days) or you could be locking common shit behind hours of repetitive garbage to force us to consider paying.
Not that I ever pre order games but if I ever did, statements like that would be giant red lights with blaring alarm sounds.
Regulation is not going to affect this. This is a simple 1:1 transaction. Even if it is a transaction many will not like. No gambling; you get exactly what you pay for.
In fact, more games might go this way if loot boxes become even more of a dirty word

That's very odd. The thread can be shut down of that's the case.

I am going to guess you can purchase "Sliver" based on the wording. If not at launch, then after launch

My read of the Twitter thread (which is kinda unclear) is that silver can be used to buy upgrades, gold is used to buy cosmetics and you can't use gold to buy silver? (Where silver is ingame currency and gold is out of game currency, wouldnt be surprised to see gold buying XP though...)
Seems like you can only buy Gold Bars, which are only for Suit and Weapon skins
Bethesda has been on a huge downward spiral for a long time now, so this wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.
That is if silver can be purchased. Weaseling out of it on a technicality would be peak Bethesda.

I wish they'd broken character here because that's uh... really unfortunate implications there
