While Sea of Thieves has got its fair share of criticism since it came out but no one can say that Rare has over-monetized the game. That might change soon. Rare is going to add a microtransaction store to Sea of Thieves soon. Obviously, this is something that fans take very seriously.
Rare has mentioned that the store is going to have optional in-game purchases. Nothing will give players “power” over others. Rare does not want to segment the players and wants them to stick together.
Sea of Thieves executive producer Joe Neate talked about the upcoming microtransaction store. Here is what he had to say about it:
We never [want] to do anything that provides any sort of power advantage or anything. We’re never going to sell any sort of power in Sea of Thieves. We’re never going to sell anything that separates players. We love people being together in Sea of Thieves and that same idea applies to our digital business. We want it to be completely optional, so you don’t have to buy into this if you don’t want, and we want you to know what you’re going to be buying, so there will never be any kind of loot box mechanic that’s hidden away from you.
Even though Sea of Thieves is getting a microtransactions store, the silver lining here is that the game will not have loot boxes. Fans are going to have mixed feeling about this new addition to the game but we will have to wait and see what the store is like and how it is implemented into the game.
Sea of Thieves had minimal microtransactions and we all knew that this would happen at some pound.
Let us know what you think about this new addition to Sea of Thieves and whether or not you think this could ruin the game for the players.
