Warner and Monolith have decided that microtransactions have been hampering players enjoyment of Middle-Earth Shadow of War and six months after release decide to remove them.
In an update from the studio, they explain that perhaps the idea of purchasing Orcs was probably not the best idea for the game and that it undermined “the heart of the game”. Now Gold will be completely removed from the game and players will not be able to purchase loot chests.
The game will be getting additional updates when this change rolls out with an update to the Shadow Wars section of the campaign which will include “new narrative elements and streamlined for a more cohesive experience”.
