An
update on the Killing Floor 2
website announces the addition of the Zed-conomy to
Killing Floor 2,
a series of optional cosmetic microtransactions, as Tripwire intends to use
proceeds from these to support continued development of the zombie shooter
sequel. The whole "optional cosmetic" aspect of this has not prevented this from
being controversial, as
Destructoid notes that those unhappy with the news have been posting
negative reviews and lowering their previously posted ratings for the game,
noting that this news may be suffering additional backlash due to lingering
unhappiness over what's been going on with
PAYDAY 2
microtransactions. There are numerous posts discussing the situation on the
Killing Floor 2
Steam General Discussion Forum and
reddit.
