If Halo 5 is anything to go by, 343 made 500 million on $60 game sales. Idk about gamepass, but they also made 1.5 million in a year so if I assume at least 1 million a year that’s like 6.5 million extra. Honestly though I wonder if they will give us a 3rd mode this time around? The game feels like it would work great with a spartan ops/fire fight hybrid gamemode.
Lol dude I agree it’s completely bs how they formulated everything. This microtransactions system is mobile game level. Next thing you know we will get 30 second pop up ads that you can pay to remove. Honestly If anything they should have made a season pass system to provide a reasonable progression for pay content (and add some kind of non progression microtransactions for special things, but give those season pass credits towards those things). Idk I really think people who require these monetizations need to get their heads examined, no other game that is at Halos prestige has ever had ship microtransactions. I get that they can’t use loot boxes (thank god), but even then there are still other systems that they could have looked at. They like money such then make a system that is appealing and don’t just approve any bs. 99% of the content I see in the progression and store are so boring (they are base halo pieces that should have been free base level items to start with, but now I can’t even get cheifs helmet without buying an armor core??).
It’s not about being given everything for free, its about being given options to earn items in game through in game currency.
WHY INTRODUCE A FREE TO PLAY GAME WITH NO IN GAME CURRENCY TO BUY WHAT YOUR OFFERING THROUGH DROPPING TIME INVESTED INTO THE GAME???
You stated you’re lucky to own an Xbox.
Okay, great, so are we… EVERYONE ELSE… You ain’t special junior.
When it comes to any free to play game, at least the dozens i’ve and many others have played, there has alway been a way to earn in game credits / a currency to purchase items being sold for real money.
Halo Infinite is the only free to play game that doesnt have this feature, Instead, pushes the player to drop real money, then have players like you say, “ iTs NoT tHaT bIg Of a dEaL “…
Like if I’m investing my time in ANYTHING, There better be an incentive to continue investing my time into whatever it is, if not then thats a bad investment and waste of time.
Mind you that “ Incentive “ will be Cosmetic for gaming ; if the game is based around not just gameplay, but customization… With that incentive, give the players, your investors, consumers, the ones putting food on your table… GIVE THEM OPTIONS and a reason to keep playing.
