"Following some disruptive server issues after ' first weekend was slammed with an influx of players, Embark Studios is giving out 500 Raider Tokens to those who played on Sunday, which translates to about five bucks in real, U.S. dollars. It's a nice gesture, but as many in the growing Arc Raiders community have pointed out, five bucks ain't gonna get you a whole lot in the in-game shop."
"Arc Raiders' servers were packed this weekend. Hitting over 300,000 concurrent players on Steam alone has helped land the extraction shooter in the top five most-played games on Valve's storefront, putting it just under Battlefield 6. The game is winning over an eager fanbase with its engaging progression systems and hardcore gameplay loop. But Arc Raiders ' in-game cosmetic shop is a sore spot for many, especially given that the game requires a $40 purchase to play."
""I thought $10 worth of coins would be enough to buy [a particular] skin, not the bundle, just the skin," a Redditor writes in a post titled "The prices are...a little spicy, right?" Whether you're playing Fortnite or Diablo IV or any number of other games, it's become all too common to see high price tags affixed to the privilege of sporting a new digital look."
Embark Studios experienced server instability after a heavily populated launch weekend and awarded 500 Raider Tokens to all players who logged in on Sunday. The tokens equate to about five U.S. dollars in value. Arc Raiders reached over 300,000 concurrent Steam players and entered Valve's top five most-played titles, drawing praise for progression systems and a hardcore gameplay loop. The game's in-game cosmetic shop draws criticism because many cosmetic items carry high price tags and certain pieces (goggles, helmets, boots) are locked to specific skins, limiting cross-item customization despite the game's $40 purchase requirement.
