The first months of 2020 have passed, none of us could have foreseen the outbreak of the disease. Covid-19 has shaken the whole society, hundreds of thousands of people have died, the rest must also be reeling from fighting the epidemic and maintaining income because the economy is in a serious crisis. While game studios launch many promotions to help gamers in difficult situations, Xaviant Games, the father of the title survival game once hot hit The Culling just thinking hard how to extort money from players. The particular method is so crude that even capitalism can’t smell it.
First released in 2016, The Culling can be considered a title online games style survival Battle Royale the first generation, once stormed the gaming village at that time. But when PUBG and Fortnite were released, such games began to recede, and The Culling fell into disrepair and no one cared. Finally, closing is an inevitable consequence.
However, in the latest announcement, Xaviant Games said The Culling will once again return to Xbox One on May 14, the PC version will also be released later. Okay, it wouldn’t matter if the developer didn’t come up with a brazen bloodsucker. To play the game, the player must first spend $6 to buy. Well, I bought it but that’s not over yet – the answer is no. Gamers will only be able to play 1 free game per day, and if they want to continue playing, there are two options: one is to win that match, the other is to spend money to receive a code to continue playing. For $0.99, player will get 3 codes, $2.99 - 10 codes and $4.99 for 20 codes. With more “mind”, the company also offers combos: $ 1.99 for a week of unlimited play or $ 5.99 for 1 month.
While PUBG or Fortnite both let gamers play for free, it’s easy to understand why The Culling’s crude monetization method has been vehemently condemned by the community. I don’t know how good the game is, but this account alone has made gamers bored and no longer want to spend money to buy games. Even many people claim that even if they are free, they are not sure they spend time playing this game let alone other fees. Before closing, The Culling gave free to play and still failed.
The Culling will be re-released for Xbox One tomorrow – May 14, with a PC version coming soon after.
