There's "No Store" Or Microtransactions In DOOM Eternal

As the way it should be. I trust the dev's just not so much Bethesda.

DOOM 2016 did its best to avoid microtransactions but did end up temporarily selling some multiplayer DLC.

I'm okay with some DLC, especially if it extends the gameplay with new content. Like the expansions Nintendo makes for their games.

Awesome to hear. But like I said before it's sad how NOT being anti-consumer is a selling point nowadays. Being consumer friendly should be the norm, not the exception.

Mark my words-

Microtransactions will spell the death of video games, home media and entertainment as we know it.

@Maschinenmensch doesn't seem like it, if its been going on for years now

He made an excellent dig at the industry too

That makes it an instant purchase for me.

We're complementing devs for not doing what they used to not do before?

@Spoony_Tech Bethesda owns the franchise so they still had a say in whether the game should have micro transactions. Especially since there were rumors that there would be gameplay affecting ones

@JuiceMan_V In this day in age, it’s practically needed

Wow, how revolutionary

It's quite sad that this isn't the norm anymore.

@Maschinenmensch @DarkLloyd It will be the death of the industry as we prefer it. But it will go on in a new form, and one we dislike. But children are growing up with it as "just the way it is". If you've never experienced an alternative you don't know what you're missing and I'm certain that's what they're gambling on.

I don't know when, but eventually they industry is going to push towards streaming games only, and full of microtransactions, and because that's all kids will have grown up with, that'll have no qualms about it. They'll see us "older" folks (I'm all of 28) and think we're crazy to complain about it. I see it all the time among the kids I teach. More and more of them don't even have game consoles, they are happy to play on their phones and tablets, mobile games like Knives Out, Fortnite, Raid Shadow Legends, etc...

@DarkLloyd your ignorance is baffling.

@Heavyarms55 sickening development isn’t it?

Nowadays it's difficult to trust these kind of words from most publishers especially after coming back from another game that was essentially just a code in a case but since this is from id Software themselves and not Bethesda so I still trust them.

@Maschinenmensch your arrogance is, as well.

Pre ordering just to show support.

Where in his answer does he say "no microtransactions"?

@boneyard Eternal is a $60 game, not a free to play game or a mobile game

This sentence essentially means no micro transactions as that practice is synonymous with free-to-play and mobile games. Do realize that even though there won't be micro transactions in the game, DLCs (whether free or not) and game expansions are still possible in the future.

@retro_player_22 dlc has already been confirmed, with 2 future single player story expansions included in the deluxe edition that is available to pre order elsewhere. I don't know why so many still seemingly want to believe that this will have microtransactions though.

I'm really looking forward to this one

@Entrr_username not true. Hollenshead and Carmack, had signed long-term contracts guaranteeing their tenure at the company for an unspecified period of time.Bethesda said in a statement, adding that "no changes will be made in the operations of id Software in the development of its games."

Halle-f'ing-lujah.

@Heavyarms55 Well, to quote a meme that occasionally gets thrown around - F them kids.

It's sad that this is news.

@Godlike_Virus That's like blaming a car for breaking down when it had an incompetent mechanic. It's not the kids' fault, it's the adults, or more specifically, the corporate leaders and investors who are only in it to make a profit and don't care about anything else.

@retro_player_22 I know, but you said it yourself: "essentially". I don't take anything for granted considering how today's games are and what they become after release.

Also, Bethesda...

Wish this was the norm, not the exception

It's sad but I find myself holding off on purchasing new games from the bigger devs just in case they inject microtransactions later on. And the fact I have no faith in Bethesda anymore.

DLC in DOOM would've been ridicules anyways, that just wouldn't be DOOM -maybe something else, but not DOOM.
Love have he used mobile games and free to play almost like swear words, I totally agree and games like that are complete and utter rubbish

... at launch.

I'm sure they'll include something later, by way of a patch or something. If not, more power to them, but I wouldn't hold this for a promise that can't be broken. Many companies tell something and then don't respect what they said. Sometimes, the change is done after release, by way of a game update.

So I never take anything for granted these days.

At least they didn't 76 it!

I don't trust them. They said that they wouldn't have microtransactions in Fallout 76 and look where it is now.

@Jaalsky cheer up mate 😊

@Maschinenmensch I'm a troll for calling you out on insulting a guy based on nothing? Lol you are the one who called another one ignorant from your high horse instead of replying with an actual argument. This is so funny I can't even 😂
I'm still waiting for your infinite wisdom to enlighten us all.

@clvr i appriciate the defense but its all good, i just wont respond to him if thats the first thing he chooses to reply with

@DarkLloyd "...if thats the first thing he chooses to reply with"

Yeah, not exactly the mark of the brilliant mind he makes his out to be.
Anyway you're right, silly me for having my blood boil at any unreasonably rude behavior I happen to witness 😅
Have a good day/night 😃
