Destiny 2’s Winter Event gets Major Backlash for Microtransactions

Winter

It seems like the Destiny 2 players have finally come to their senses when it comes to Microtransactions. What once was a trend in Overwatch with limited time events has now carried over to the game developed by Bungie with their Winter event.

However, it seems like the success of the latest event in Destiny 2 has driven some controversy. La Aurora is an event that was announced with limited time cosmetic items and microtransactions needed to get some of the items.

So yeah, it was a dubious attempt at promoting this “Free event”. This event had a few items that depended on actually playing the game while the majority was locked behind event microtransactions.

For very obvious reasons, Destiny 2 players picked up on this as the days passed. Soon, Actvision-Blizzard and Bungie would be getting the biggest backlash of their lives. I mean, it’s obvious that they wouldn’t like to have a system that favors people who pay microtransactions.

Now, Bungie was bound to go full damage control at some point during this scandalous incident. While I admire the fact that the representative tried to appease the fans, it’s a laughable attempt.

Basically, Chris here has promised features that either were already in the works or stuff that is already in the game. So he spent time basically saying nothing to the audience and expecting that this would appease the fans.

The tweets themselves are rather vague too, so much talk about “Next year we’ll do this”. I mean, the best “Announcement” I can take is the part where Chris talks about having the most difficult activities giving out the most rewards.

Honestly, Destiny 2 clearly deserved its spot in the Most Disappointing Games list we made. This game definitely will keep evolving to promote the microtransactions until people start leaving the game to force the removal of the Eververse.

I always wanted to be a journalist who listens. The Voice of the Unspoken and someone heavily involved in the gaming community. From playing as a leader of a competitive multi-branch team to organizing tournaments for the competitive scene to being involved in a lot of gaming communities. I want to keep moving forward as a journalist.

On October 25, 2023, THQ Nordic’s Alone in the Dark reboot will star Killing Eve’s Jodie Comer and Stranger Things’ David Harbour. Comer will play Emily Hartwood, while Harbour will play Edward Carnaby.

The demo, loosely based on the 1992 original, is available for download from the PS Store. This prologue, starring supporting character Grace Saunders, is inspired by Alone in the Dark 2’s Jack in the Dark demo and allows you to explore the Derceto Mansion.

The showcase didn’t focus on combat, but previous showings have shown a frantic over-the-shoulder shooter, and developer Pieces Interactive promises a variety of puzzles. Depending on how much guidance you want, you can adjust the difficulty.

We’re excited about the final product. Alone in the Dark hasn’t been respected in recent years, despite its huge influence. A compelling reboot that updates the 1992 classic looks to put the franchise back on track.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin, a new real-time strategy game where players command one of four warring factions, is coming to PS5 in the grimdark future.

PlayStation’s strategy gaming renaissance makes us feel like we’re living in the best possible time for console gamers who love command. Realms of Ruin could be a cool addition if it succeeds. As fans know, Warhammer games are unfortunately inconsistent in quality, so we’ll reserve judgment until we see some gameplay.

Warhammer Age of Sigmar: Realms of Ruin: your thoughts? What do you think of Age of Sigmar’s controversial rebranding in general?

According to Metacritic, The Lord of the Rings: Gollum is the worst-rated game of 2023, setting a new low for AAA releases. OpenCritic’s story is similar. See our video or written review to understand why.

Only eFootball was more universally hated. Balan Wonderworld and Babylon’s Fall are other villains in that awful rogue’s gallery.
