Fe May Ship with Some Form of In-Game Purchases

This is like adding microtransactions in Journey.

Edit: Oh thank goodness! EA can just keep their money-grabbing hands to Star Wars Battlefront 2.

EEEEAAAAAAAAAA!

Amzing! Can't wait to give ea my money for some utterly meaningless and cosmetic purchases!

(Said no one ever)

Instant pass. As soon as the mob hear about this the game will fail, ea never learn.

You gotta get up pretty early in the morning to out-stupid EA.

Couldn't care less. I'll just ignore them.

Hello

As the Marketing Manager for Zoink Games I can confirm there are no in-game purchases or micro-transactions in Fe. The mention about in-game purchases is wrong and we're trying to fix that now.

Just ask away if you have any questions. Thanks!

We've updated the article.

.. why wouldn't PushSquare reach out to Zoink before coming to these conclusions and worse still writing an inaccurate article like this? basic journo 101 surely?

@1ManAndHisDroid The article isn't inaccurate. As the Marketing Manager states above, the description on the store listing is incorrect and they're trying to change that. And that's completely fine. But how are we supposed to know that without reporting it?

@LiamCroft - I guess you know by reaching out to Zoink to see if it's a typo / incorrect description or not? No? Fact finding before reporting? No? Anyone? :/ sorry, but surely you ask if it's a typo before reporting about "confirming your fears"? (which were inaccurate)

@DLB3 - nobody's attacking anyone, it's just eye-brow raising that a) the title hasn't been changed like you say and b) it was reported before any facts were established - nothing wrong with holding one's hands up and saying 'yup, got it wrong, we'll do better' - a far better position than trying to argue the toss

Fair play to Zoink games in that they have addressed very quickly and got an answer out.

@mforslind Brilliant news and great response! Thank you!

I have to agree with @1ManAndHisDroid it does seem quite unprofessional and disrespectful to Zoink that PushSquare posted this article before reaching out to them for comment on the issue but hopefully it’s a lesson learned.

MT or not, I avoid everything EA related. Sorry Zoink.

@mforslind

Thanks for quickly jumping on this. That small detail in the description could do some serious damage.

Game looks intriguing so wouldnt want to mess up any opportunities.

@pushsquare

I feel you guys did nothing wrong as the article in its original form clearly stated that you were surprised by this and would look into it further.

It is a level of trust that an official description on a vendors site would be accurate. Not to say it shouldn't be questioned but I am sure when people 1st saw that they trusted that it was correct.

Yes.. everyone wants correct info 100% of the time. But in this case it seems that this was overlooked by Sony, Zoink EA etc long before Mr Croft ever laid eyes on it. Mistakes do happen. In this case I commend that it was quickly handled and clarified.

I forgive you.. lol..

.. well that escalated quickly...

Okay everyone let's just settle down. Glad to see many of you are so passionate about this story (and the site, which we really do appreciate) but let's not get into arguments with one another. I don't want to dish out warnings on a Friday.

@get2sammyb Come on please if these games are in need of microtransactions then its the end of gaming as a whole.

Had not heard of this until now. Looked it up on YouTube and watched some gameplay. Looking pretty good, 3d metrovania im guessing. I'll probably be getting this.

Is there a release date?

@mforslind Glad to hear it, Fe looks awesome, I'm really interested since last E3.

@mforslind Cant wait to play!!!!
