CD Projekt RED stated in the past that Cyberpunk 2077 wouldn’t have any micro-transactions or in-game purchases. Thus, a lot of gamers felt betrayed earlier today when it was revealed that there will be micro-transactions. However, these micro-transactions will be only available in the upcoming multiplayer mode. The single-player campaign, that will release in November, won’t have any micro-transactions at all.
Basically, CD Projekt RED has been advertising the single-player campaign of Cyberpunk 2077 as a complete package. After all, Cyberpunk 2077’s multiplayer wasn’t known to the public when the company made its “no MTX” statement. So, technically speaking, CDPR never really lied to its customers.
According to CDPR’s CEO, Adam Kicinski, the MP micro-transactions won’t be aggressive.
“Well, we’re never aggressive towards our fans. We treat them fairly and we’re friendly. So of course not–we won’t be aggressive–but you can expect great things to be bought. The goal is to design monetization in a way that makes people happy to spend money. I’m not trying to be cynical or hide something; it’s about creating a feeling of value.”
So, there you have it. No MTX in the single-player campaign but the multi-player mode will have some of them. Furthermore, the game will receive free DLCs and big expansions similar to those of The Witcher 3.
Cyberpunk 2077 releases on November 19th!

Here we go again.
I’m against MTX in full priced games like this one. That being said, IF it’s only cosmetic well it’s not as bas as P2W.
Still i’d like for every item to be atainable through hard work;aka playtime.
oh no, you were the chosen one…. blah blah blah.. typical..
Can’t wait to see how yongyea will spin this as a positive news about the game.
probably “I-it’s just cosmetics” nonsense.
That guy’s still a thing?
That guy could turn a 5 word sentence into a 15-minute video – he’s that nauseating.
Predatory tactics
“it’s about creating a feeling of value.”
Sure…CDPR…sure…
Sounds like something EA would say
I swear it’s all the same. But the blind is going to be blind no matter how hard you try to wake him.
In that sense they are right “A feeling of Value”…Feeling being the operative word here, i “Feel like like flying” not about to try thou 😀
Empty feeling is what they are giving
I see no problem here, couldn’t care less about the multiplayer mode.
HAHAHAAHAHAAHHAAHAHAH
Look dudes i got inside information from the studio, the cd projekt you knew is over, its taken over by westerners and sjws. This will be the last good game they will make.
The last good game they made was Witcher 2. They sailed the real “good intentions” scene a long time ago. Been here since Witcher 1.
How can you possibly think Witcher 2 was a better game than TW3
I don’t think this is a good game, maybe a dream… but wait and see.
Man look at some of these comments… people like to complain just to complain… God forbid people work and want to make money…
You sound like an apologist. People complain about the hypocrisy of a company that claims to “let greed to the others” and being all about the consumer first when then they pull things like that. Microtransactions shouldn’t be in their vocabulary…but here they are.
Titanfall 2 exists and it does not have microtransactions. Go play that instead.
And install Origin? nah
and support EA while doing it?, nah
Torrent version.
It has them for cosmetic items.
No. It has 3 dlc for 3 titan skin/variant and that’s it. Nothing else. All other cosmetics you unlock.
The level design on Titanfall 2 is insane man, one of the best fps campaign ever.

GTA V and RDR 2 anyone ?
I remember when they said that Cyberpunk 2077 would never have multiplayer or microtransactions.
That’s the true face behind any corporation or a company, they seek to leech off everyone’s cash once they acquire sufficient trust from the followers. Ultra hype spawns abominations from time to time. Remember NMS? Yeah, one of the most ambitious games of the decade turned into pile of false marketing articles.
They all fall eventually.
Typical tactics. Build customer trust, and slowly and slyly betray it. This is the beginning of the end for CDPR. They have no moral high ground to preach from any longer.
Not that I care about this SJW/PC infested diseased game anyways, but, there it is.
“Not that I care about this SJW/PC infested diseased game anyways”
Christ, imagine actually writing crap like this.
Look at that slippery slope
Can’t wait for CDProjekt drones to defend this
Both the fact that resources are being wasted on a multiplayer mode but that it has f*king microtransactions.
What a scummy company
I couldn’t give a f*k about the campaign. I want the multiplayer cause I’ve got friends.
You’re about as intelligent as the people who buy modern Battlefield games for the campaign.
Unreal.
Neither was Gwent apperently AND all that merch bearing Cyberpunk logo.
CDPR CEO, Adam Kicinski:
“we’re never aggressive towards our fans. We treat them fairly and we’re friendly”
– they misrepresented TW3 to fans by having pre-downgrade screenshots and video on the GOG and Steam store pages
– they routinely deleted threads and comments from fans posted on their official forums in relation to TW3’s ‘downgrade’
– they stonewalled fans’ questions about why screenshots of TW3 at ultra settings were not being shown
– they insulted the fans’ intelligence in an interview on Eurogamer by claiming they couldn’t see any downgrade to TW3
– GOG’s regional pricing policy was ‘aggressively’ changed for the worse immediately prior to TW3 going live for pre-orders
– they made themselves look foolish by having ‘aggressively’ gone after Green Man Gaming in relation to TW3 keys being sold perfectly legally at a more ‘friendly’ price
– when fans asked if the optimisations present in TW3’s expansion DLC would be brought to the base game the fans were told it was too much effort
– they ignored fan requests to release a full modding suite for TW3 like has been done for TW2
Interesting.
They tracked people torrenting Witcher 2 and sent 1000 € fines directly to their homes through a law firm.
Suck their dic* harder 0_0
I like CDPR. I even recommended a guy here who wanted to buy Witcher 3 to buy it on GOG coz he didn’t know it was owned by CDPR but I never forgot the negatives they did. And now they’re slowly starting to be the company they mock. But man! you’re on a whole different level. Textbook behavior of a corporate dic* sucker
BTW, 99999.9%? dafukk is that!?
That’s not defending? AHAHA! way to retract on your actions dic* sucker. It’s hilarious that we complain about how a company that is portraying themselves as a goody-good shoe company but is actually like the rest of the companies that they mock? yeah suuuper hilarious. SUCK HARDER DIC* SUCKER
Edit: Oh and by the way, the common practice that 99999.9%(whatever this means) of these shi**y companies are doing were not common back then. It’s people like you that let EA, Ubicrap and others made it into a common practice.
Twatter? ROFL. Nice projection. Like I’d stoop to that level. I didn’t even know what that was years after it became popular and just discovered what it really is last year because it was the main platform of SJWs. People like you are the ones who enabled the shi*ty companies to be what they are now and when you are called out defending them you just retract whatever you said and say the contrast. AHAHA! typical ape actions. Suck their d*ck harder 😀
2016 Polish Government Grant – “[CDPR] has received 30m zloty ($7m) towards four proposals from its games development team, as well as a proposal by the GOG.com team to create a “generic support cross-platform multiplayer gaming software for popular consoles and operating systems”[…] While it isn’t specified which games this research will benefit, it’s a safe bet that the city creation and seamless multiplayer will go into […] Cyberpunk 2077.”
**That means a total of 27.4 Million dollars to help develop the game; which means there’s no valid excuse behind Micro-Transactions being added into the Multiplayer experience.** https://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2016-12-19-cd-projekt-red-techland-receive-grants-from-polish-governments-usd27-4m-research-fund
Who gives a sh*t. If you want fancy skins in multiplayer you can pay for it. They can drain money from the sheep and make a bad a*s Witcher game with Ciri as the main character.
I wonder “Blue” (yes the colour) how much is going to cost…AngryJoe sure “will love this”.
“A feeling of value”…Yeah fu** that…What about the feeling of making progress in a game and having the ability to look cool as you progress like you could in games in the past or some current games that still let you have all cosmetics IN the game? (Control, Horizon ZD, Batman Arkham Knight, Spider Man, The Witcher 3 with hundreds of armor sets and swords…to name a few).
I don’t know but if they block things and make you pay for them, what will make you feel rewarded in that game? A bigger number in your stats? Yeah right…come on man. Hope the single player portion won’t be affected by this…which as of now…it will be since I can’t see cosmetics that you can obtain in SP being blocked for the MP part from the game…imagine people having to pay for something they already have in the game that can’t use in the MP later.
As usually “the apples never fall far from the tree…”. “Leave greed to others”…yup.
Funny thing I remember Anthem Beta which had a lot of armor sets to choose and then they removed them completely from final release (they have a video with a lot of armor sets that you can watch on You Tube from their official channel). Also The Crew 2 Closed Beta had all the cars and then they removed people’s favourites and put them as paid DLC’s. Believe it or not that single thing made me not want to buy any of those games…even if Anthem was as garbage as it was I might bought it, but saw what they did and the disaster it was in the end and done, and in The Crew 2 they removed my favourite car in the game literally so you can pay for it later…I said to myself “never again going to buy a game from this company”. Sometimes is that little thing that you see in the game that might make you get it and then “bup!”, nothing like magic.
Smoke and mirrors, we are in the age of magic in video games, they show you one thing and then it disappears!

“technically speaking, CDPR never really lied to its customers.” – the same notion can be applied to a lot of shady practices CDPR pulled within the last 5-6 years.

Multiplayer will be a part of C2077 thus it will be C2077 thus CD Projekt lied about no microtransactions in C2027.
I’m pretty sure the vast majority of people who are waiting for this game couldn’t care less about multiplayer mode.
So lets recap
Aids filled Tranny Propaganda game
SIMPlified consolitis gameplay
200GB installation
contains microtransactions
and the devs looks like this https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/3a452b62e9fe311eab0faa42bea23fbe00f961deb508f78d5c5cf20607d644e0.jpg
why would any sane person wanna buy this?
Oh, so it’s about looks now? Well, not everybody can be physically as awesome as you.
Who are you to be talking about “the devs look like this” when you’re very most likely a skinny white teen or a fat 26 year old still living with their parents.
People who hate fat shaming are using skinny as an insult lul.
Never said I 100% hate fat shaming, never said anything about fat shaming before lol. Being morbidly obese or dangerously malnourished is incredibly unhealthy but I respect people who actually try to change that if they can actually control it, (Unlike this zygote who obviously doesn’t even have a Brain Stem, and most likely you too) But whatever, make up your stories to fit your rhetoric.
People who fat shame are usually fat.
the art design of the game is fantastic. but nice fallacy.
Everything you wrote is repulsive and absurdly stupid. To the point where it looks like satire.
Complete SJW garbage. They abandoned their original plans and switched to the NPC woke mindset, only hoping to make a quick buck pandering to trannies and far-left cringe politics.
The only thing they are getting from their former audience is the middle finger. As consumers we have to make a stand and send a message: Cut it off with the far-left degeneracy agenda that is killing gaming.
“source twitter & reddit”
lmao, because those places are known beacons of truth right? stop defending this SJW infused pile of garbage. They lied to you.
dont see what is the problem. they are following the same business plan like Rockstar. if they keep supporting the single player experience with free DLCs while the MTX for the online part wont be aggressive, as they claim, then everything is fine.
