It’s no secret that game development costs are high today. Thus, many companies have found it necessary to include microtransactions to increase their profits. However, not all companies are in favor of this, especially when we are talking about a single player title. One of them is CD Project RedThose who assure that they will not include microtransactions in their games.
in recent times the interview, Piotr Nielubowicz, CD Projekt Red’s CFO, was asked about the possibility of seeing microtransactions in future games from the studio. In his discussion, Nielubowicz clarified that they do not plan to include this type of monetization in their single player games. Here is what he commented:
“We see no place for microtransactions in single-player games.
We do not exclude that we will use this solution in the future for multiplayer projects.”
now, This does not mean that the company is not considering this element. While they’ve made it clear that their next single-player title, such as the next installment of The Witcher, won’t have microtransactions, they don’t close the door to this possibility for multiplayer projects, such as Project Sirius, which are in development. right now
Although Project Sirius resumed development early last year, Nielubowicz confirmed in the interview that it will continue to have multiplayer elements. He also clarified that the title is being considered as a “AAA project”. We’ll just have to see what happens with the studio and its projects in the future. On a related note, the direct sequel The Witcher 3 It is already in development. Likewise, its sales Phantom Liberty.
Editor’s note:
This makes perfect sense. A multiplayer game doesn’t just sell and that’s it. It needs constant support from developers and active servers. Thus, constant monetization is required to pay the bills. However, a single-player title does not require it.
