locked hero and more to come
season pass aka battlepass
paywall skins and more to come
imaginary currency designed so you buy imaginary currency, spend it on something you want, then have leftover credits so you're incentivized to spend more to use the credits you pay for because you can't buy anything else with your remaining credits
in before xp boosters, strong card packs, and more
it's a mobile game. Take away the scam aspect, the predatory imaginary currency, the gimmicky live-service that ultimately kills games, and give the buyers the cut content they deserve for paying full price for a game, then I would give it credit. It was quite fun for what I played, but fun for a mobile game.
I'll play it again when it's free. I give it less than 2 years until it becomes free to play. Fans will become unhappy with the growing greed that will come in over the year, it will eventually have mixed reviews, no longer be developed, become free to play, then they'll fork in what they can when they bring in the new wave of free-to-play players and enjoy the cash flow.
Seen it a million times and it will happen here too. I will be very happy to say I'm wrong a year or two from now if they have any integrity, but they didn't even bait and switch on this game, they went full mobile style on day 1, so I'm not keeping my fingers crossed.
Silly idea. It's not set up to be a live service game.
Maybe not free, but certainly dirt cheap at some point.
Everything you just described is what mobile games are. Open your eyes.
You are wrong now already. The cash shop is not going to have anything else but a limited amount of skins for the characters. If it had been set up for a growing list of purchases, it would have grown already but it has remained the same for months now ever since the launch.
Furthermore, it only has the same skins as the Season Pass and Legendary Edition already give, for the players who buy neither of these but still want some of the skins. There is nothing predatory in this cosmetics shop, the skins cost only 2-3 dollars/euro each. It is the cheapest cosmetics shop I've ever seen in any game.
There is no Battlepass whatsoever, Battlepasses are always a tiered system which unlock cosmetic and game currency rewards when the player progresses through them and these have to be unlocked with a real money purchase. Nothing like this exists in the game.
There are no live service elements in the game either, the cosmetics shop could be counted as one if it had a growing list of items for sale but since it does not it is not a live service.
Full-on mobile style games often have battle passes, XP booster items, gambling elements, P2W, and paywalls at every progression step. Especially the Marvel mobile games use all of these as they gouge the players for thousands of dollars. Not as horrible as the Diablo and Game of Thrones mobile games(which require the player to spend tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands) but horrible still. Midnight Suns however has zero of these and won't ever have them.
The game is never going free to play either, this is a single player RPG/tactical card battle game and it is not set up to be a live service, let alone a F2P live service. At most, the price of the game is going to perhaps permanently drop at some point but that might not happen either as it is a single player game and not a live service game. Marvel's Avengers permanently dropped in price but it was a live service, Guardians of the Galaxy has not dropped in price and it's a single player game like Midnight Suns.
The game has had this ultimate edition which has everything ever since it became available for pre-order. It's called the Legendary Edition, it includes all four DLC's, and all of the premium skins too as a free bonus.
