Fortnite's Sidekick Pets: A Greedy Microtransaction
I am shocked that a microtransaction in a free-to-play game would be implemented in a greedy way. Each time you want to change the appearance of your new Sidekick pets, you have to purchase them again. This approach feels exploitative, especially considering the game's existing monetization strategies. - Players invest time and money into the game, only to face additional costs for customization. - The decision undermines player trust and could drive away the community. While cosmetic changes can enhance gameplay, making them dependent on repeated purchases is a poor choice. For more details, check out this PC Gamer article. It’s disappointing to see such a beloved title resort to these tactics.
