Cyberpunk 2077 Dev Talks Microtransactions: "the goal is to get people to spend extra money and be happy about it." (MTX - MP; Expansions - SP)
- Thread starter Crossing Eden
- Start date
Monster Hunter World did MTX right. All cosmetic, and mostly stuff like outfits for the Handler, Pendants for your weapon, and stuff for your room.
It won't be there at launch, it will arrive later as an update to the game.
It will have multiplayer, but after launch. They're developing it aside.

It hasn't been officially announced or shown off in any capacity and won't be there at launch.

If anything this most likely means that CBP's dlc will be focused first and foremost on cosmetics instead of anything resembling P2W.
If it hasn't been announced or shown how do we know it exists?

Because they've confirmed that it's in development just like the MP of TLOU2.
Well the rebuttal to that is people shouldn't work for free so if they are adding content to the game then why can't they charge for it?
With online multiplayer you have to be more careful because you do not want to split the userbase. You also shouldn't add paid content that gives players advantages. This is why cosmetic stuff is usually the way to go with premium content.
I thought they announced they scrapped multiplayer like 5 years ago? Maybe I'm misremembering but I thought the reason was because they had trouble making it fun and wanted to pull resources to the single player?
They try to make games that you are happy to buy for $60. Applying the same logic to microtransactions sounds fine on paper but that's a difficult line to walk.
I'm not sure what Cyberpunk will do differently than all those other games that try to do the same. Usually microtransactions end up feeling pointless and easy to ignore. Or they are intrusive and you feel badgered into buying them for a variety of bad reasons.
Good luck to them if they can pull it off.

Figured this was the case given they're offering the DLC for free this time.
Almost one year ago to the day:
Okay I guess we have different definitions of announced then. Lol
I don't have problem with that, only don't spread the happy bullshit. Say that it'll have MTX and move on.

Cyberpunk 2077 =/= Cyberpunk MP.
Cyberpunk 2077 is the SP game and it will get the same DLC as The Witcher 3.
Cyberpunk MP is a completely new online game.
It's no different from TLOU 2 and the "MP game" being developed.
Crossing Eden
Title should be update, some people are thinking they are adding MTX to Cyberpunk 2077 and not the online MP game.
Quick, get the Witcher 3 update out there before the microtransaction news hits.
Fingers crossed its just cosmetic.

Naw there was always going to be a MP factor to the game, they just segmented it away from the SP campaign to release that first, then focus on the MP post release as another mode/addition.
IMHO, they 100% should charge for microtransactions in there if they are done well: and by the sounds, creating value is their focus: I'm all for that.
People need to understand that if people don't work for free, you also shouldn't get anything for free too.
People will pay for the game.
Unless this is only for additional MP content.
They did back in 2019 but the problem still remains, the negativity surrounding MTX.
"You can expect that we won't change our general policy towards fair deals with gamers, so expect wise monetization and always value for money."
Cyberpunk 2077's multiplayer will be monetized wisely, CDPR says Read more: https://www.tweaktown.com/news/68910/cyberpunk-2077s-multiplayer-monetized-wisely-cdpr/index.html
Value for money would be things like Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine.
Multi million dollar corporation that exploits and benefits from crunch culture is trying to put micro transactions in a 60 dollar game? You don't say huh
What's wrong with that? I don't get it why is it a news, really. CD Projekt is a public company and to fulfill expectations of their stockholders they need to increase their revenue and profit. If they will have cosmetics in multiplayer mode and this is done purely in non-invasive way then I'm totally fine with it.
No. It's not Cyberpunk 2077 that will release in November, it will be separate, standalone multiplayer title. Your description matches every AAA game company, though. And from all of them CD Projekt is actually the most consumer friendly.
Well you should probably mention that this is not included in Cyberpunk 2077 which will release in November but standalone multiplayer title which will relase in the future.

They are doing TW3-like expansions for CP2077.
Just read the thread, the MTX is about CYBERPUNK MULTIPLAYER and not CYBERPUNK 2077.
It is additional MP content. It will likely be a different mode ala GTA Online or what ND is doing with TLoU Part 2 MP.
I'm talking about microtransactions in a MP game. Some people are turned off but it's mere existence and not if it's not obtrusive to the game at all. Look at that thread for the mount for Final Fantasy XIV which is completely cosmetics, but warranted a big response because it shouldn't cost what it cost......I mean come on.
That has nothing to do with multiplayer though. See, there are still many who are jaded about multiplayer in general and think all the effort should be put onto the single player game instead. You will never satisfy everyone but I beleive they will do things fairly.
Then you are splitting the community by having paid content.
Yeah sorry yall. I get the immediate reaction is paying mtx = bad but no it isn't automatically bad. We always want stuff for free but a full on multiplayer experience if it's anything like grand theft auto online (even better hopefully) needs to be maintained if it's going to be updated for months and/or years with updates of content. Saying the single player campaign wouldn't see micro transactions does not mean their recently announced game won't see it.
They've been incredibly solid with their track record of dlc and expansions with prices fhsh that are more than fair. If anybody deserves the benefit of the doubt that they're not going to price this incredibly lame its CDPR for me.

Will you not have to pay 60 dollars to access the multiplayer when it releases? It would be cool if it was f2p but I don't see it
It for sure won't be free to play but it doesn't change the point that they will be only cosmetics and you will know what you are buying.
