Middle-earth: Shadow of War is dropping its big microtransaction system. In a forum post today, developer Monolith said it is releasing a number of free updates to the game in the coming weeks and months to respond to player feedback to make the game better, and among the changes is the removal of some elements from the in-game marketplace.
Responding to concerns that people raised months ago before Shadow of War was even released, Monolith said it is removing all Gold and War Chests from the game's store. Being able to outright purchase Gold and gain Orc followers through warchests "reduces the immersions in the world and takes away from the challenge of building your personal army and your fortress," Monolith admitted.
"The core promise of the Nemesis System is the ability to build relationships with your personal allies and enemies in a dynamic open world," Monolith said. "While purchasing Orcs in the Market is more immediate and provides additional player options, we have come to realize that providing this choice risked undermining the heart of our game, the Nemesis System. It allows you to miss out on the awesome player stories you would have otherwise created, and it compromises those same stories even if you don’t buy anything."
