Sad. I went from not interested to definitely not interested.

Update: looks like developer is saying that's not the case after all.

Filthy company.

Well, that's the feature of AAA games I guess. Even Capcom done a similar thing for DMC 5.

If micro-transactions are implemented in a manner to hinder regular gameplay then its a no go. If not, then its a non-issue.

Just play RTCW.

Now developer is saying that's not the case...https://www.gameinformer.com/update/2019/06/13/says-wolfenstein-youngblood-has-cosmetic-microtransactions

"Silver can not be bought with gold bars"

The confusing mess that is gaming these days...

Yeah uhm I think that game's multiplayer is long dead by now.

Nope, people are still playing this and ET.

We still complaining about this stuff?

It's in every game now. Move on with your lives.

They're backtracking now. Bethesda is a trash company.

Also lol at the anti consumer sheep in this thread.

Why on earth would anyone buy cosmetic items in single player games? At least you can have bragging rights in multiplayer games so I sorta get it. But a disco shirt when playing alone? Why? Streaming? Immersion?

Not bothered.

I feel like that's an overraction not worth tossing the potential of the game away for that..

Picking battles and everything.

If it's there it's because people buy them.

@Sevenizz: you can play it co-op so makes sense I guess. Will never touch but could care less if it’s in tbh.

Imo the game can become great only if it supports couch coop.

So they say weapon upgrades available in game but people can short-cut the task of acquiring them by paying... I am okay with this. Aren't they also doing something where one person can purchase game and have a friend who didn't play online with them just unable to get achievements like A Way Out did? If so, why are we even questioning them like they're pushing abusive anti-gaming practices.

I'd also be fine if they had pay-to-win competitive online because I never found the latest entries in series to have that great of gameplay that I want to play against other people, it's only just good enough to get me through an SP campaign but it isn't Doom and I dare say I enjoyed Rage 2 more than any of last few Wolfenstein games.

Well that's not very encouraging.
