There is pressing concern from players when it comes to big releases, given the current climate of the gaming industry. The controversy over microtransactions has seen the practice escalate on a grand scale, in terms of backlash from fans for having to pay to win, so to speak. One such title is the yet to be confirmed Halo 6, of which a number of fans have voiced their worries about the potential use of microtransactions in the future title, and how it could hinder the experience.
To that end, Halo franchise director, who is referred to as Stinkles on ResetERA, has responded to claims that Microsoft are re-evaluating how they implement microtransactions in the upcoming release: “This is bunk. We’re not reevaluating anything (significant) and “Microsoft” isn’t designing anything for the next game – 343 is. We watched the EA battlefront thing with the curiosity you’d expect – but our current req system is player focused and well liked and unintrusive as far as these things go.”
The statement continued: “We have made zero announcements about our next projects and continue to work on our next game and technology with player’s needs and interests in mind. However the story as loosely presented as it is – has no bearing on or relation to any current efforts.”
