    Shift Up already had a great start lol, they printed money off the gacha games Destiny Child and Nikke. The Nikke fans who already owned Stellar Blade are currently pissed at them because the ones that already had it on PS5 got told if they wanted the collab bonuses they’d have to buy the game again.

    I’m not sure why they’re surprised, ShiftUp is the kind of company that sells $60 gooner skins. It’s honestly amazing to me that Stellar Blade has all the content it does without spamming out micro transactions.

      Fair point, I stand corrected: I didn’t know about their prior practices.

      Still, I keep that Stellar Blade itself was one of the best recent game releases I experienced, and the game itself is fun!

        Tbf to them, one of the reasons both of those gachas were successful is that they’re actually pretty generous by industry standards. They’ll sell the gooners a $60 cosmetic skin and milk the whales of all they have but the regular players can get by fine without paying a dime…

        But they probably will anyways because waifus.
