To be fair, cash shops are basically just pre-made bolt-ons. They take so little dev time (relatively speaking) to implement that the only reason not to put them in at launch is to try and manage the reception from the community.
I’m not going to entertain the existence of the cash shop until AT LEAST:
- Separate inventories are addressed.
- Map selection methods are addressed.
- Weekly tuning is addressed.
Until then, the purchase price is all Fatshark is going to see out of me. The game is currently designed in such a way that playing multiple characters feels punishing and that’s a deal breaker for me.
I’ve dropped other games because of the designs surrounding their cash shops and if things don’t change here, it’s only a matter of time until I do it again.
