Middle-Earth: Shadow of War

My understanding is that everything you can buy with $ you can also buy with in-game currency, and it's not necessary to progress.

That's how it starts, rather nip it in the bud and not support micro transactions in single player for any reason. Make a complete game and micro transactions shouldn't be needed at all. It's already bad enough that DLC is available upon release a lot.

Its sad for me because I was looking forward to playing this, then I found out about these transactions. This guy sums up my thoughts pretty nicely.



BTW this guy puts out some great videos, recommend anyone check him out.

Also just read that they are profiting from the death of member of the development team.

Read the fine print.

Um, they aren't profiting. The money is going to Mike's fund.

Except the family only gets purchases from the US, its a worldwide release. Like I said, read the fine print. They get all the money from the purchases from the rest of the world.

They confirmed that on twitter.

As opposed to them getting nothing at all in the first place? okay.

Uh, yes really. They don't have to give the family shit. They decided to give them a portion of DLC purchases. I mean, wtf you want. It says in the damn thing they aren't giving 100% of the purchase. You don;t need to read any fine print.

To donate $3.50 on every purchase of the DLC.... worldwide. Not just the US. I don't have a problem with them making some profit on it, but the lions share should go to the family, especially if that is how you are marketing it. It is a DLC specifically marketed as helping out the family... There's nothing else to that DLC...

Theyare probably only allowed to do it from US purchases because of laws. Read the fine print. Again, they don't have to offer shit.
