Hi Steemian Gamers, before I get into the news I just wanted to update you all on my goal. I'm currently 20 followers away from my goal of 200 followers. Remember there is an announcement to come so keep spreading the word.
So for those of you who know me well you will know I'm a huge fan of Star Wars. I love it to the point that I named my son after the great Harrison Ford. But the above news is not something I wanted to see but fully expected it was coming.
If you played the Beta for Battlefront 2 you all be aware of how easy it was to build up points in game so you can use your favourite character. At this point we all thought the game wouldn't change much from what we played in said beta. Unfortunately today it has been revealed that to play as these character you will need to rack up 40 hours worth of gameplay to get enough in game currency to play the characters of your choice.
If you are like me and just don't have that long to wait there is an alternative and a rather obvious one at that.
You can use your own money...as if paying for the game wasn't enough they have ruined our beloved Star Wars games with real money transactions. So rather than playing for 40 hours you can work for 40 hours to pay for it instead.
What are your thoughts on this? Have microtransactions ruined the gaming industry? Or is it making it better?
Let me know in the comments below and as always if you don't know what else to do then read the GIFs below...
