Godt nok udvikles Doom Eternal af id Software, men det udgives af Bethesda der i løbet af de seneste par år har vist en voksende forkærlighed for aggressive mikrotransaktioner, der blandt andet er blevet bevist igennem Fallout 76. Men noget kunne tyde på at id Software har haft stor indflydelse på monetariseringen, for der er nemlig ingen - overhovedet.
For nylig blev instruktør Hugo Martin spurgt af en fan på Facebook om hvorvidt spillet ville have kosmetiske mikrotransaktioner, og her var svaret ganske tydeligt:
"No store. Nothing you can unlock in Eternal with XP has anything to do with player abilities or content that would impact your game in any way. The only thing you can unlock with XP is COSMETICS. These cosmetics have no impact on how you play, they just look cool. Eternal is a $60 game, not a free to play game or a mobile game - we are giving you a complete experience with no store just like you'd expect. Unlocking skins with XP is part of the experience if you care about that stuff, or you can completely ignore it and it will have no impact on your experience at all and it's all free."
Jamen, det var da meget gode nyheder.
