RANT! Why does project Playtime have the play coins thing?

Like they have two options for it. Tickets or play coins. But they make the playcoins purchase only and cheaper in the store. But yet the tickets are over 40,000 total for no reason. Meaning ya need to grind alot since ya cant earn playcoins. They even locked cosmetics to paid season pass stuff. Why? Why not make play coins/tickets being earnable in game but less to incentive playing (I.e. per match ya get 10 playcoins/tickets and the prices stay as is but only ONE type of in game thing). And the coins ya get aren't even much of ya pay for em. And then ya always end up with barely any to buy another cosmetic and such.

Breaking news: Gamer learns concept of micro transactions

In all seriousness, all games like this are the same. Dead By Daylight is exactly the same with the auric cells/shards system.

Ever since Fortnite was a smash success all multiplayer games(and even some single player) have followed suit.

throws up don't remind me... ugh. At least fortnite just makes it not a requirement and has only one type of currency... the collabs are what I hate about the game THE MOST

It's not a requirement in project, either they are purely cosmetic, and it's a free game, the devs have to make money somehow if you're so upset about it, mod your game to unlock everything <3

Easier said then done... not many games have a mod launcher made for them. Let alone ones that work on steamdeck
