Early Access Review
Why do people think microtransaction is a good ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ idea? Did Tripwire not take lessons from Overkill? If it was solely cosmetic, i guess i can still look past that, but if they were planning to add exclusive weapons in these box, then they're actually doing a worse job than Overkill. Because while they say if one person owns the weapon in a game server (when it appears under shared content), they are relying on a flawed system that works only if they think nearly every player do what they think players would do just because they thought about it.

Take for example the zweihander sword. I don't know about Americas and Europe, but in SEA the sword is hardly avaliable. Additionally, as time passes by and more and more of these "box exclusive" weapons start propping out, the flaws of the system begin to show as a large number of weapons will be locked behind a randomized paywall. I could go on about why this is a bad idea, but people such as Jim Sterling, AlphaOmegaSin, Boogie, TB and whatnot have already did a far more eloquent job than i could.

This recommendation stands until they change their decision and remove microtransaction or at the very least make it open ONLY cosmetic items.

EDIT: MICROTRANSACTIONS ARE HERE BOIS. Tripwire be like loadsamoney ft. Harry Enfield

EDIT1: its April of 2016 and Killing Floor 2 STILL isn't out of "early access". ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ glad i stop playing this before I get as disappointed as I was with Payday 2. Tripwire is sure tripping over their loyal "old guard" customers like they're sheeps to slaughter. Even World War 1 frontline cannon fodders were given more respect.

EDIT2: Definately digging the new steam review system in place. Now people can see the scum of the game that is KF2, hiding behind all those early positive reviews to give it that "positive" cap that can misguide players buying into something they don't actually like. Also, its STILL isn't out of Early Access (heh, EA for you). Also, apparently there's PVP ♥♥♥♥♥♥ lmao. No surprise. Have more Harry Enfield.
