‘Stellar Blade’ Director Rejects Microtransactions, Promises Game “Will Not Require Players To Spend Any Additional Money Beyond...
'Stellar Blade' director Hyung-Tae Kim has promised that, save for one specific type of instance, the game will feature no microtransactions.
At this rate, I'll be hoping for a Korean game industry boom if they're all like this dude.
The market for non-pozzed, mtx-free games is out there. The AAA companies have been permanently infected with DEI to the point it's basically impossible for them to recover.
The faster they die, the better.
...for the legacy of their franchises as much as for the players...
Ironically, it can be a big money maker if corrupt executives would just put their greed aside for once and prioritize customers over shareholders.
I hope this game damages the western industry severely.
The koreans gave us the freemium shit mmo genre, and are as mobile trash obsessed as the japanese. This dev is unfortunately not their standard.
The Korean gaming industry is the most predatory one out there. They would put battle passes inside of battle passes with the only way to progress being a gacha. They use the hot women to bait guys into whaling on their games hard and always have.
There is no good side to their version of the industry getting popular. The Ugly Characters are not the only battlefront of the Western Industry going to shit.
Korean film is doing pretty good non woke shit too.
If only the country would band together and take the Kpop freaks out behind the barn
