Ubisoft has reaffirmed its dedication to microtransactions, claiming they enhance the enjoyment of games. Despite past criticisms regarding features like paid XP boosts in single-player titles, Ubisoft continues to implement microtransactions in its full-priced games. The latest annual report emphasizes a balance between financial strategy and player respect, asserting players can enjoy games fully without extra costs. However, there are conflicting statements about whether monetization aids player experience or encourages a grind-heavy design that pushes purchases. Recent successes like Assassin's Creed Valhalla highlight this ongoing strategy amidst criticism.
