Over the last few years, the rise of microtransactions in video games has made consumers fear that their games will be ruined by corporate greed. There's only a handful of publishers still pumping out solid single player games while others move towards an online centric market which allows for more money to be made after the initial $59.99 purchase of the core game.

Many gamers became really fed up with this new trend in 2017 leading to huge controversies surrounding games like Star Wars Battlefront II which ended up completely removing its microtransactions after tons of players threatened to boycot the game completely. With that said, many have begun inquiring about upcoming games to see how other developers/publishers will approach this situation.

Take-Two has already confirmed that games like Red Dead Redemption 2 will have a revenue stream supported by microtransactions after seeing Rockstar's massive success with Grand Theft Auto V's Shark Cards. One developer who won't be incorperating microtransactions is the very independent, player driven studio known for The Witcher series, CD Projekt Red.

Aside from two substantial expansions, all of the additional content for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was completely free and it sounds like CD Projekt intends to do something similar with their next game, Cyberpunk 2077. The company responded to a curious fan with a firey response that throws shade at various game companies like EA by saying they plan to ignore microtransactions and will "leave greed to others".

.@PrettyBadTweets Worry not. When thinking CP2077, think nothing less than TW3 — huge single player, open world, story-driven RPG. No hidden catch, you get what you pay for — no bullshit, just honest gaming like with Wild Hunt. We leave greed to others. — CD PROJEKT RED (@CDPROJEKTRED) November 19, 2017

Cyberpunk 2077 has no release date or any significant details but is rumored to have online components, destructible cities, social hubs, and more.
