World of Warcraft gets virtual currency
Microtransactions in a monthly fee game, critics say.
After some rumors, Blizzard confirms that virtual currency is coming to World of Warcraft. The currency is called "Hearthsteel" and is launched with the next expansion, Midnight, which will be released next year.
The currency is to be used to trade gadgets for the houses that are part of the expansion. In a description, it is emphasized that many things will still be free, and which rules apply to what will be sold.
Criticism has been heard of what are seen as microtransactions in a game that is already subject to monthly fees. The tone is not consistently happy.
