After a huge backlash, Ubisoft removed the Time-Savers MTX items from Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon: Breakpoint. However, it’s important to note that these microtransactions will return in the future.
As Ubisoft told PCGamesN:
“We are aware that during the Early Access of Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint on October 1, some Time-Savers items (skill point bundles, XP boosters, [and] parts bundles for advanced weapon upgrades) were available for purchase for a few hours in our store. This was not our intention and was an error on our behalf.”
According to Ubisoft, these items will return in the future.
“These items were designed as an optional way for players arriving later to the game (post-launch) to catch up with those who have been playing for longer and enjoy our co-op and challenging end-game experiences. These Time-Savers have since been removed from our store for now.”
It’s also worth noting that Ubisoft will not lock anything behind microtransactions as some gamers initially thought. While these Time-Savers will allow you to unlock things, you can also do so by simply playing the game. However, players will most likely have to grind in order to unlock them.
“Time-Savers were not designed to grant any advantage over players choosing not to use them. Additionally, Ghost War PvP has been carefully balanced to ensure that no matter your experience as a player, no one has a critical advantage based on their progression.”

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Of course they will.
Today’s typhoon of morons that make up the customer base of “gaming”, aren’t exactly difficult to figure out or manipulate. Looks like this trash is working as intended.
Haha, now they will sell millions of copies. Modern day gamers are a disgrace.
You and the whole lot of real frauds with Mental issues really have murdered gaming . Take a hint? KYS . (:
Sorry, I don’t understand DipSchitt. Such a foreign tongue.
Removes them now because of the outrcy, but proudly admits that they will bring them back after the idiots have bought the game.
F you ubisoft
Amen!
Let CPY removes Denuvo from the game now and let Ubisoft brings it back in the future !
Well okay then. Bring them back 3 months from now if that’s the true intention.

Oh, Ubisoft!
Jim Sterling had some value back in the days when he did his job prior to having contracted TDS and then sucking up to Epic Games Store.
I still enjoy some of his content, he can be really funny sometimes. After all no one is perfect buddy. ?
Each to their own but even since he went SJW, began lacing his videos with TDS and abandoned his integrity in the name of supporting Epic Games Store then I lost all interest in whatever he has to say.
Kill yourself bro .
u mad bro
Shuddup Bro aka you Mental to**er .
This is the reason why Ubisoft going downhill… https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/b6206a523a0b85c2a0cf753cd9b05b4707c63e31d67fbf1aec797be4e86cf5c9.jpg
The shoe definitely fits.
Vivendi failed us. I’d sooner see this cancerous company in ruins, and Vivendi could have delivered their head on a platter.
Maybe in the future sometime.
They really think gamers are 100% retarded. “That was not our intention” they say. hahahahahahahaha
Let’s be really here, Rick. Most gamers “are” 100% retarded, or else this crap wouldn’t get off the ground. We, are the minority these days.
Sad truth. The game industry is just a joke now. There is zero excitement for anything. It’s just flop after flop.
Too late.
