In the wake of a micro-transaction and lootbox debacle in the gaming industry that has actually caught attention of lawmakers and state officials, the developer behind the wildly popular PlayerUnknownâ€™s Battlegrounds has sworn theyâ€™ll never add similar mechanics that affect gameplay. The news comes via a developer Q&A at this yearâ€™s G-Star Exhibition in Southâ€¦

I think it's awesome a game that started out like PUBG doesn't need to rely on microtransactions that affect the game to be successful. While at the same time, one of the largest publishers is crying that they need them to survive. Cosmetic microtransactions aren't the best, but they're way better than what we've been getting.

This is good, I just hope we don't see things creep into microtransactions that do affect the game play. Pay to win is never fun, even if you're paying to win.
