I svallvågorna av #Payday 2-kontroverserna, där den svenska studion #Overkill Software fick massor av kritik för att de infört mikrotransaktioner, gör #Killing Floor 2-utvecklarna samma sak. I en kommande uppdatering implementeras en shop som kommer att fungera på ungefär samma sätt som #Counter-Strike: Global offensive - spelare belönas med lådor och måste köpa nycklar för att låsa upp innehållet.

Reaktionerna lät inte vänta på sig och spelets Steam-sida fylls nu med negativa recensioner och krav på återbetalning. Det har än så länge inte påverkat det totala anseendet (drygt 17 000 recensioner) men det är förmodligen bara en tidsfråga. Här kommer några utdrag.

Early access game with no more than two updates since it's "Launch", loot crate and buyable key system like cs:go and payday 2.
Barely any REAL content.
Killing floor 1 wasnt a bad game, sure the dlc fest was annoying, it was never this bad.
Sorry Tripwire, im getting a refund, and you. My dear steam shopper, should save your 30$, buy a better game.

RIP Killing Floor 2 2015-2015

En person blev så upprörd att denna författade en liten dikt.

"I, I bought this game of hollow depth believing in you
Take now my final cash
and spend it on booze
I see the game has nothing left
dead fragments of fun
You take the money for yourself
and start to run

I mourn my blindness
I was so wrong
Why did I buy this
Early Access is where I belong

I brought this onto myself
I don't know why - I buy
I brought this onto myself
I don't know why - I deny

I, I know the game is running thin and dying on you
I bought the lies that lie within
I fell for it too

I mourn my blindness
I was so wrong
Why did I buy this
Early Access is where I belong

I brought this onto myself
I don't know why - I buy
I brought this onto myself
I don't know why - I deny

I brought this onto myself
I don't know why - I buy
I brought this onto myself
I don't know why - I deny

I brought this onto myself
I don't know why - I buy
I brought this onto myself
I don't know why - I deny"
