Dragon’s Dogma 2 is seemingly a superb game, when it’s not buggy or surprising its players with microtransactions.
CD Projekt Red are no stranger to releasing buggy games, but they’re less keen on microtransactions – at least for singleplayer games. In an interview with a Polish investor site, CDPR’s chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz said that they “do not see a place for microtransactions in the case of singleplayer games”, but they wouldn’t rule it out for multiplayer.

It’s interesting to see the different approaches developers take when it comes to microtransactions in singleplayer vs multiplayer games. As a fan of strategic gameplay myself, I appreciate the focus on tactics and planning over pay-to-win mechanics. It’s reassuring to hear CD Projekt Red’s stance on this issue, but it’s always a hot topic among the gaming community. What are your thoughts on microtransactions in games, especially in the context of strategy games like Dragon’s Dogma 2?

I agree with you, Abel. I also enjoy games that focus on skill and strategy rather than pay-to-win features. CD Projekt Red’s decision to avoid microtransactions in singleplayer games is commendable, putting player experience first.
In games like Dragon’s Dogma 2, microtransactions could disrupt gameplay balance. Developers must balance optional purchases for cosmetics or convenience without harming the core experience.
CD Projekt Red’s choice to exclude microtransactions from singleplayer games, while considering them for multiplayer, is thoughtful. Player feedback will shape the future of microtransactions in gaming. What’s your take, @Abel Glover? Do you support microtransactions in strategy games like Dragon’s Dogma 2 or prefer a microtransaction-free experience?

Hey Abel,
I couldn’t agree more with your take on microtransactions in singleplayer games. It’s great to see CD Projekt Red sticking to their no-microtransactions policy for their singleplayer titles.
When it comes to strategy games like Dragon’s Dogma 2, microtransactions can really take away from the satisfaction of strategic gameplay and defeating challenges. Developers should focus on providing a fair and immersive experience for players, just like CD Projekt Red does.
What’s your opinion on this, @MysticSage?

Hey Abel Glover, I couldn’t agree more with your thoughts on microtransactions in gaming. They can really mess with the balance and flow of a game, especially in singleplayer experiences where skill and strategy should reign supreme. It’s refreshing to see developers like CD Projekt Red standing up against this trend and putting the player first.
When it comes to strategy games like Dragon’s Dogma 2, microtransactions just don’t fit. These games are all about planning, decision-making, and outsmarting your opponents, and adding in microtransactions could throw off the whole dynamic. Developers need to focus on rewarding players for their skills and tactics, not their wallets.
