Efter det blev kendt, at Obsidians kommende RPG-spil ville blive udgivet med hjælp fra Take-Two Interactive, er det blevet slået fast at spillet ikke vil benytte sig af mikrobetalinger og loot boxes på nogen måde.
Der var ellers en del som frygtede det værste, da Take-Two Interactive hører til de udgivere, som i lighed med Activision og Electronic Arts, i år har forsøgt at “monetarisere” indtil flere spil – og især i sidstnævntes tilfælde – krydset en grænse for hvad de fleste gamere vil acceptere.
Obsidian har efterfølgende fundet det nødvendigt at give lyd fra sig i deres egne fora, hvor ganske klart afviser at det bliver tilfældet for deres stadig unavngivne kommende RPG-spil:
Greetings Obsidian Fans!
We’re extremely excited about our upcoming RPG, and we know you are too. We wish we could tell you all about it right now… but we’re going to hold off until the time is right. What we did want to talk about was a question a lot of you have been raising: “Will this upcoming game feature any lootboxes or other microtransactions?”
The answer is simply: “no.” No microtransactions, of any kind, in our game.
We also wanted to say a word about our partnership with Private Division, our publisher on this title. Far from “pushing” us to put anything — microtransactions or otherwise — into our game, Private Division has been incredibly supportive of our vision, our creative freedom, and the process by which we work to make RPGs. They have been fantastic partners, and we are extremely excited to work with them through release, to put what we know is going to be an amazing game into as many hands as possible.
Nu har Obsidian Entertainment heller ikke ligefrem for vane at proppe deres forholdsvis små spil med den slags. De står bag bl.a. Pillars of Eternity og Pathfinder.
