No microtransactions for The Division says Ubi, confusion follows

The Division Turret

With just over a week to go until The Division brings its instanced take on the end of the world to your PC, there’s still confusion about whether or not the game will offer microtransactions. Ubisoft Community Manager Natchai Stappers recently took to Twitter to state that it will not, but his wording seems to have raised more questions than it answered.

It seems odd to me that he would emphasize the absence of “pay to win,” since that should go without saying if there are no microtransactions, and thus nothing to pay for in the first place. Muddying the waters even further, Ubisoft told Eurogamer in mid-January that “there will be no microtransactions at all. Not even for vanity items. Vanity items will be sold as DLC, through the regular first-party stores.”

So it’s clear that Ubisoft will offer separately purchasable content for The Division, which gives this “no microtransactions” claim the appearance of Riddler-like quibbling over words: When is DLC not a microtransaction? I’ve asked Ubisoft for clarification and will update if I receive a reply. Otherwise, we’ll find out next week: The Division comes out on March 8.
