This is what happens when you raise enough hell and vote with your own feet. Shadow Of War will be getting free updates, one of them involving the removal of microtransactions.
Please note that the above updates are free for all Shadow of War owners. The ability to purchase Gold will permanently cease on May 8, 2018. The permanent removal of Gold, War Chests and the Market will take place on July 17, 2018, at the same time as all other updates discussed above.
Honestly I’m a little surprised by this. I would have expected them to completely ride it out taking money in any way they could. The negative press must have had quite the impact on them if they’re removing their store entirely. This should be a lesson to other companies that plan on trying or are currently using similar tactics. This never should of happened in the first place, especially for a single player game for fucks sake.
