[Pc Games] We don't see a place for microtransactions in singleplayer games', says CD Projekt Red following Dragon's Dogma 2's DLC fiasco

CD Projekt Red won't be putting microtransactions in singleplayer games like The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077 any time soon, according to comments recently made by the company's Chief Financial Officer.

During an interview with Stockwatch.pl(translated via Google) Piotr Nielubowicz was asked whether future games will have microtransactions added into them. To this, Nielubowicz replied "we do not see a place for microtransactions in the case of singleplayer games".

The clarification arrives at a time when microtransactions are once again the subject of fierce debate, due mainly to the controversy surrounding Dragon's Dogma 2's lengthy list of DLC items which released alongside the main game. Although it transpired nearly all these items were acquirable in game anyway, players were nonetheless hacked off at Capcom's attempting to flog them a bunch of extras when the game had literally just launched.
