    will now be turned into cosmetic-only optional “supporter packs” DLCs sold on Steam.

    so…they’re not removing all microtransactions

      Yeah, the headline is just awful. The Inkbound Dev notes that they’re removing all in-game microtransactions. The goal is to move away from pressuring you to spend money on microtransactions as you play, and keep them where they belong: on the store page.

      The devs are doing exactly what they said. The headline is either click-bait, or a result of awful reading comprehension.

      It’s just cosmetics, I don’t see the problem. They have to make money for food in some way or another.

        Its not a free game. Im not necessarily hating on cosmetic microtransactions, but they are microtransactions and theyve claimed to remove all of them.

          They did not make that claim. The article is just wrong. The devs said they’re removing in-game monitization and only having DLC on the store page. It’s functionally identical I assume, but there’s less pressure on players playing the game.
