The First Descendant players slam \u201cgreedy\u201d microtransactions that ruin customization NexonThe First Descendant players believe the game\u2019s microtransactions are too \u201cgreedy\u201d and want the devs to make changes. The First Descendant is currently the top-selling game on Steam, with the free to play looter shooter taking the crown from Elden Ring. Despite receiving mixed reviews, poor performance on PS5, and issuing compensation to address the buggy launch \u2013 The First Descendant has proven incredibly popular. In fact, the game recently received a whopping 229k concurrent players on Steam, making it the seventh most-played game. However, while it may be receiving a lot of attention players are already calling out Nexon over its \u201cgreedy\u201d use of microtransactions. Posting on the official The First Descendant Reddit page, the game\u2019s community was quick to highlight how expensive customization options are. \u201cNot a whole lot micro about a $5 single-use paint,\u201d wrote one player. \u201cIt sucks because I really enjoyed the couple of betas I played of this game, but I knew it was too good to not be completely f*cked up by Nexon greed. I don\u2019t mind paying for some stuff in a game, especially a F2P game \u2013 hell I could maybe even justify paying that for a permanent use single paint color\u2026The longer the servers are up the less interested I am.\u201d It\u2019s not just the cost of the single-use paint that has players feeling frustrated, as many believe it greatly limits the game\u2019s customization options. \u201cYeah not being able to color default characters is super lame,\u201d replied one commenter. \u201cOne of the fun things in games like this is the endless character customization. Having tons of paid skins and paints in the shop is fine, but you should be able to use the ones purchased on any skin as much as you want. Otherwise, that is crazy greedy and detracts from that aspect of the game a lot.\u201d Others were also put off by the price of the Descendant skins, which can be purchased from the in-game cash shop using Caliber. Caliber is the game\u2019s premium currency and can not be unlocked for free \u2013 instead, players must use real-world money to obtain it. While premium skins aren\u2019t exactly new to F2P games, it\u2019s the price of them that has the community up in arms. \u201cI saw the big Bunny skin they have for her, and thought cool I will get that expecting I dunno \u00a320 max, and it\u2019s over 30 f*cking quid \u2013 no f*cking way I\u2019m spending that on a single skin.\u201d While The First Descendant character skins and single-use paint cosmetics don\u2019t impact the overall gameplay, it\u2019s clear that the community wants the devs to address these prices.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
