To have it so egregious in the first place just shows someone managing monetisation was hoping it'd get accepted by the public. Tweaking it now means nothing.
The game isn't released yet. Tweaking it now means hopefully curtailing it for the vast majority of players at launch.
They always were going to respond. The question is when and how much.
Does this game sell unlock everything in the krypt again? Maybe they will wait a week till the whales have passed through.

After the Shadow of War nonsense, I'm 100% believing this was a WB decision and nothing will change my mind
I really hope they work things out to a reasonable level, the game is fun otherwise and I'll probably finish the story tonight.
Better to tweak it now before the majority of the public plays it instead of weeks later.
NRS would then have to explain how this wasn't a natural progression in design given that these "features" have been creeping into their games for nearly a decade now.
I don't buy that this was a bug or error

why not before, why did the game ship in this miserable state at all?
but well, it was good that reviews pointed that out, they could have go easily over 90 metacritic without this BS attached to the game, seems like they listened to the criticism
looking forward to the changes at least...

Exactly where I am right now. They designed it with a manipulative philosophy in mind. Suddenly that philosophy is going to change?
I'll wait and see.
(1) they didn't test it;
(2) they wanted to see the public's limit; or
(3) both?
Yeah but it was intended to be like this on release. Them saying they'll look into this on the Kast goes to show its not something they just forgot about until the last second. The grind was meant to be as real as possible to frustrate you into paying up to skip it.
Would you rather them not fix it? Responses like this confuse me.

Of course, but I won't be all happy and smiley its being changed because as I've said, it was clearly intended to fuck the player and someone at WB/NRS hoped it wouldn't be raged at.
Everything's made to fuck the player--no corporation is your friend.
no, because there are crystals for direct unlocks, they would lose money with a "unlock all" option. i don´t think there will be such an option. and even if, it is still additional money.
It's less about that and more about seeing how far they can take shit with players.
It actually means a lot to me, because I intend to play this game and I'll be happier that the cosmetic unlocks are not going to be as grindy as they originally were.
I would rather them not test how much they can move the goalpost of screwing with players.
Yeah, I'm not going to give you the benefit of the doubt if you design a mode where players get debuffs that you need items to avoid - items that you just so happen to be able to buy. That's in addition to loot boxes and like half a dozen currency types. Sorry.
They'll adjust it just enough so that it's still a load of bullshit, but certain people will praise them for it and declare that the problem is "not that bad anymore".
Then they'll take it another step further in whatever their next game is 2 years from now. Rinse and repeat.

I do not agree with the first half of this post. There are plenty of popular games that aren't as gross as this.
Yep. Between this bullshit and the Rousey casting, this game went from a 100% buy to a 100% don't buy for me.
Might as well not buy the game with that kind of opinion.
I'm happy to give money over if there is a balance in play that makes sense, but from what we know about the towers and krypt grind, this is way beyond a balanced approach.
Well with Derek was on the game informer podcast he said that nrs watched everywhere and name dropped gamefaqs. If they are watching there I have no doubt they are watching here. They saw the uproar and knew they had to do something. Not to mention we saw reviewers mention and clearly knock off points from the games score for this
