Gamers rejoice! CD Projekt Red, the studio behind Cyberpunk 2077, has confirmed that they will not be following a troubling trend: microtransactions, on the other hand, by flooding those experiences with microtransactions. This is something that fans who are used to hearing such an important story can relax for a moment as the film is financed independently without the need for in-game purchases.
CD Projekt Red’s CFO, Piotr Nielubowicz, made a clear statement: “Microtransactions have no place in our single-player titles,” an Epic Games software designer explains. This is especially heavy and carries such seriousness coming from the highest-ranking government official. It’s a shining display of the quality and attention to storytelling when compared to travelers who have already purchased the experience.
In a way, if microtransactions will be featured anywhere in the next Cyberpunk title, it might just be the multiplayer mode. So, as far as the single-player campaign is concerned, fans have something to be happy about. This facilitates the development process of upcoming games like The Witcher.
Gamers’ appreciation of this moment is driven by the pressure of recouping development expenses and CD Projekt Red’s emphasis on providing a great single-player experience without the oppression of micro-transactions. This also means that these games will have a good chance of regaining popularity among gamers who yearn for the traditional and intense experience that single-player games provide.
