Developer Insight: Hearthsteel Virtual Currency and Housing in Midnight

I wonder which intern drew the short straw to post this announcement.

The MAIN FEATURE of Midnight will get full microtransactions and as ppl already brought up you have to buy them multiple times, you just dont get them permanently and the source that only a “small” amount of housing items will be in the cash shop and the rest of it is playable is: trust me bro - yeah for sure

Subscription fee
high expansion prices (with less content since TWW)
ingame shop with higher prices since TWW for “Bundles”/Bruto
and now housing shop

Not even Destiny 2 (aka Bungie) was this greedy with its game. And you even waited after pre orders went on for a full month to actually announce this.

DISGUSTING

Man…we already pay money per expansion AND a subscription fees. And Now you want more??

This has Microsoft written all over it. Disgusting and laughable.

You all are not only out of touch, but begging for refunds.

Player housing was welcomed by the majority of the playerbase. This? This is how you ruin it.

Turn it around.

I was so excited for midnight and this just killed it, I already pay a monthly sub. I regret Preordering Midnight because if I would of known what I know now I wouldn’t of purchased it. My stupidity, I’m not surprised that Blizzard has lost its way with housing. They take away in game currency’s just to replace it with game shop currency…. I’m done with Blizzard. Keep driving your player base away the only player base they are going to end up left with is the Eastern gamers that love micro transactions. this is extremely sad to see what’s happening to the Game.

I’ll just ignore the shop stuff. It’s not important to me. I’ll have a billion other things to work with and can ignore a convoluted system for cash.

MTX is life, we should thank the brave heroes that brought the Horse Armor DLC back in Oblivion. :upside_down_face:

Yeah, looks like I won’t be purchasing this expansion, or any others for that matter.

Hopes, deleted.

Absolutely vile and disgusting. Sickening greed.

Easy answer. Money.

They are, in fact, putting it in bundles.

But they also want you to be able to buy furniture individually if you want. Especially since with housing only you can decide how much of any given furnishing you need.

And for that it’s better for them to let you buy currency in bulk and let you divide said currency however you want with in-game transactions that don’t require a processing fee every time.

Every. Single. One. Of. Us.

Will be able to make the house of our dreams JUST with what has been confirmed to be earnable.

This place is like the Dead Sea right now. I get it, “Rabble rabble MTX rabble rabble Cash shop”. But come on. The outrage is kinda sad.

The monkey’s paw curls once again… Wish I could be surprised by it, but just disappointed. The goodwill feature from blizzard has already been turned into a cash grab, before it ever launched.

HAH. The doubters. This is EXACTLY why I was all for the “needless" outrage. Oh, I have never been so sad to be right.

Alright, show me one that resembles an iron horde war citadel then

This is absolutely unacceptable. I do not care what your “philosophy” is for your cashgrab. Tell it to the shareholders, the players aren’t interested and wont be buying it.
