Halo Infinite Players Outraged At Item Shop Prices
Even though Halo Infinite won fans over with its surprise Multiplayer debut at the start of last week, an outcry has erupted over the cost of cosmetic items in the game’s Item Shop.
Making a game free-to-play and then filling it with in-game purchases has become all the rage in recent years, thanks to Fortnite’s success in 2017. And, for the most part, consumers and publishers have benefited from it. Players have been able to play games like Warzone, Fortnite, Apex Legends, and others for free, with the exception of cosmetic items that provide no gameplay benefits.
Halo Infinite has tried to follow a similar idea, but it hasn’t worked out as well as its competitors. The game’s monetization, according to fans, “makes mobile games look consumer-friendly.”
Halo Infinite Players Unhappy With Item Shop Prices
GoobyOfPls warned other Halo Infinite players not to buy anything from the in-game Item Shop in a recent Reddit post that currently has over 7,000 upvotes.
The charges are “utterly ludicrous” and a “blatant slap in the face,” according to the user, who claims that fans were previously informed that all event armor parts would be absolutely free. The Reddit user also mentioned that if you want a sword belt that can only be worn on one armor core, you’ll have to pay $15. That’s basically the same as Fortnite offering a $15 back bling that can only be worn with the Peely The Banana skin suit; the outcry would be insane!
