In a day and age where every God damn full priced game features micro-transactions, it’s quite refreshing hearing that a new title won’t be using them. The team behind WWE 2K18 has announced that the game won’t be plagued by micro-transactions.
According to the game’s official Twitter account, the game won’t feature any paid micro-transactions and loot boxes for special items and moves will be unlocked by progressing in the online multiplayer mode or offline career mode.
There are no paid microtransactions in #WWE2K18. Info on unlocking loot cases via in-game currency is here: https://t.co/ZmJQQJ7Bin. https://t.co/ZzF42lnUrM

Now while this sounds really cool, one has to wonder whether 2K Games will secretly add them after the game’s launch or in future WWE 2K titles. After all, the foundation for unlocking stuff via loot boxes has already been implemented in WWE 2K18, so we wouldn’t be surprised if WWE 2K19 features paid micro-transactions.
But anyway, the good news – at least for now – is that WWE 2K18 won’t be featuring them.

” where every God damn full priced game”
Like the writing in this one xD
so instead of microtransactions, we’ll get Micro DLC’s?
or no microtransactions/DLC’s what so ever?
“and moves will be unlocked by progressing in the online multiplayer mode or offline career mode.”
there a already announced upcoming dlc that adds new moves. theres also tons of dlc and locked pre order bonuses
nba fanbase has a way lower i.q and is willing to pay for micro transactions
That’s racist.
couldn’t pc users just give themselves unlimited vc with a trainer or something?
This is what the oil companies did in the early-mid 2000s. They massively jack up pricing then lowered them (several years in a row), and everyone praised them while they made record breaking profits. The parallel here is that dialing back the micortransactions will have the publishers expecting praise and higher sales. Unfortunately for us, there is not enough competition in the gaming industry for us just craving a fun game to choose from because all of the sleaze buckets doing this are part of the same AAA mafia.
Can they just stop with these awful loot boxes?
