Pearl Abyssは、近日公開予定のオープンワールドRPG『Crimson Desert』が、マイクロトランザクションやインゲームキャッシュショップなしでローンチすることをプレイヤーに保証した。開発者は70ドルの購入価格に対するプレミアム体験を強調した。この姿勢は、自社MMO『Black Desert Online』の収益化モデルと対照的だ。
『Black Desert Online』で知られるPearl Abyssは、シングルプレイヤーオープンワールドゲーム『Crimson Desert』の収益化アプローチを明確にした。Dropped Framesポッドキャストのインタビューで、PRおよびマーケティングディレクターのWill Powers氏は、ローンチ時にコスメティックキャッシュショップやマイクロトランザクションは搭載されないと述べた。「これは一度購入するプレミアムゲームです」とPowers氏。「MTXがゼロとは言い切れませんが、プレオーダーボーナスがあります。ローンチ時に発表・提供されるものはすべてコスメティック限定です。」
XユーザーはPearl Abyssの『Crimson Desert』ローンチ時マイクロトランザクションなし確認に好反応を示し、『Black Desert Online』との対比で爽快なプレミアム体験と見なす。高エンゲージメント投稿は開発者引用でゲームを盛り上げる。懐疑派は「ローンチ時」が将来追加やコスメを意味するかを疑問視し、明確化を求める。

Regarding the Crimson Desert “No Microtransactions.” I just watched the interview 4 times… The man @WillJPowers said “at launch.” He DID not say “there will never be microtransactions.” Will, please correct me if I am wrong here. pic.twitter.com/oT5AbFc9PJ
