Dumbest Monetization Prize: Pay for The Culling: Origins and play once a day

Developers of the Battle Royale, which has lost its popularity, for 16 people The culling again found themselves at the center of the scandal. The cause of popular anger was the release of their new project on Xbox one and PC.

The original game was one of the first projects on the market in the Royal Battle genre. At the same time, she stood out from her competitors due to the setting of a “television show” about survival on a tropical island. But the developers from the studio Xaviant failed to keep an audience that went into more licked Pubg and Fortnite. Therefore, the team decided to quickly create The culling ii. The game turned out to be a crooked clone of the above PUBG. In addition, for the sake of the project, the studio abandoned the support of the original The Culling, which angered the fans. As a result, both releases were left without an audience.

This week, the Xaviant comrades made a third attempt. They released in Steam and on the xbox one game The Culling: Origins, which is a restart of the original project.

However, an extremely idiotic monetization model was chosen. Gamers can buy the game for $ 5.99, but they can only take part in one match per day. If the battle ends in victory, then the person will be given a token for another round.

Microtransactions are also available: three tokens can be purchased for 99 cents, 10 for $ 2.99, 20 for $ 4.99. Gamers are additionally offered to issue an online pass to an unlimited number of matches. For seven days you have to pay 1.99 dollars, and for 30 – already 5.99.

At the same time, Xaviant refused premium in-game items and laptop loots that could be purchased for real money. The developers also claim that they have worked properly to optimize the project.

The audience did not expect such innovations from the field of mobile gaming. The social networks are full of reviews criticizing The Culling: Origins, and the creators’ appeal and the new trailer drowned in dislikes.
