Halo Infinite PC Will Have Microtransactions - briefly
(hx) 09:20 PM CEST - Sep,17 2018 - Post a comment / read (1)
Microsoft has been almost completely silent about what kind of game Halo Infinite will be, but some job listings at developer 343 Industries have shed some light about what fans can expect. A job ad for an Online Experience Design Director reveals, unsurprisingly, that Halo Infinite is being designed with longevity in mind. The successful candidate will oversee a number of games-as-a-service elements. According to the job post, this includes player progression inside and outside of the game, "social and engagement features that encourage players to return again and again with their friends," and of course, microtransactions.

It is not one bit surprising that Halo Infinite will use a games-as-a-service model, as this is becoming an increasingly popular and prevalent business model across the entire industry. It would be more surprising if Halo Infinite didn't have microtransactions. Halo: The Master Chief Collection and Halo 5: Guardians still receive semi-regular updates and playlist changes years after release, so 343 is already doing a lot in the games-as-a-service space. As for the implementation of microtransactions, this is expected as well. Microtransactions in Halo 5 proved to be lucrative, so it's no surprise that 343 is bringing them back in Halo Infinite.

Hmmm. I thought these Halo games were Shitbox-exclusive because they could not sell them any other way.
What's with the PC release now? Realized that console player have no money?
Well, PC gamers don't have much, either.

I won't be buying it so I don't give a damn - but I predict the people that buy the game at 80+dollars, will be very unhappy with their purchases.

My 2 cents? Satya and the rest of these fuckers can go and fuck each other.
