Marvel’s Avengers: Square Enix flips its jacket and turns its game into pay-to-win, gamers angry

Remember, at E3 2019, during the reveal of Marvel’s Avengers, Square Enix and Eidos Montreal had sworn by their blood at their press conference that the game would not fall into the pitfalls of the game-service where the pay- to-win would become a particular attraction for players; and yet … A little over a year after the game’s release and its more than timid launch, the Japanese publisher and the Canadian studio are forced to reconsider their positions. In a message addressed to the players, the latter explain “that they’ve made a commitment that the real-money content in Marvel’s Avengers will be cosmetic bonuses only, so they can keep the game fresh for years to come. ” Broken promises that have generated the anger of users who accuse the publisher of shameless lies and remind them of all the interventions where they had asserted the contrary until now. If Square Enix has not yet responded to people furious about this reversal of the jacket, the colgre is roaring on forums and social networks. Some speak of shame and that it is the last straw that breaks the camel’s back. Some users uninstall the game, others are outraged and do not understand, while there is an economic reality to defend. Five development and as many studios that have worked on it, insufficient sales and players who desert the game, as much to say to you that the site remains important to save the Avengers soldier.
