As a result of what has happened with the launch of Dragon's Dogma 2, due to the issue of microtransactions, a good deal has been opened about the fact of its presence in certain video games, especially those that are focused on an experience for a single player, as is the case of Capcom's RPG. A debate in which he also wanted to participate Piotr NielubowiczCFO of CD Projekt RED.
In an interview he gave, as pointed out by the VGC portal, he flatly stated that the Polish study will never follow that same example. He himself is very clear that it is a practice that will never be seen in his titles focused on a single player, such as the case of The Witcher saga or also that of Cyberpunk 2077.
The reason is simple, since he has stated that he sees no place for microtransactions in this type of games, although does not close the doors to it happening in other types of projects:
We see no place for microtransactions in the case of single-player games. But we do not rule out that in the future we will use this solution in a project that is multiplayer.
That is to say, he doesn't really see the existence of microtransactions as bad either. Only in the event that it happens in single-player games, which is one of the biggest complaints that users have made when offering their ratings on the Steam product page of Dragon's Dogma 2where today only 57% of the opinions are positive.
A figure that may seem striking at first glance. However, as the days have passed since the game went on sale, the numbers have not stopped increasing for the better, so it seems that the community is listening to Capcom in the fact that all paid items can be obtained in the game itself and it is not necessary to go to checkout.
