Asmongold reveals his biggest Lost Ark concern ahead of Korean MMORPG\u2019s global release Amazon Studios \/ Twitch: AsmongoldAsmongold is looking forward to giving the North American version of smash-hit MMORPG Lost Ark a fair go, but admitted his biggest concern ahead of its global release is the monetization structure. Lost Ark is an immensely popular Korean MMORPG with dungeon crawler elements that released back in 2018. However, after a controversy surrounding pay-to-win elements and loot boxes saw it get banned in Europe, it\u2019s getting a global re-release in fall 2021. But while many players are looking forward to it, including Asmon, he revealed his biggest concern is how the company decides to change the game\u2019s monetization structure and admitted if it\u2019s as bad as the version that got banned, he will quit. \u201cPeople feel like it\u2019s going to be super pay-to-win because it\u2019s a Korean game, and a lot of these games don\u2019t have a very good track record for not being paid to win,\u201d he said, as evidenced by the fact it got banned in Europe. For that reason, he\u2019s \u201cwaiting to see what their monetization structure is going be on North American realms.\u201d And if it ends up being no different from the version that got banned, then he admitted he\u2019d \u201cplay it for a few days, realize that it\u2019s pay to win, and probably just quit the game.\u201d Read More: Asmongold unimpressed with WoW 9.1.5 patch – However, he\u2019s willing to accept some pay-to-win elements within reason. \u201cIf the only pay-to-win element of the game is that you can play it for free, but if you pay a subscription, you can play more effectively and level up faster, I\u2019m okay with that.\u201d Asmon has shown time and time again that he\u2019s a man of his word. He hopes the developers won\u2019t \u201csabotage their own game\u201d by leaning too heavily on the same pay-to-win elements that got the game banned in the past. But if they do, he\u2019ll be the first person to pull the plug on his adventures in Lost Ark and move on without batting an eye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
