Crimson Desert, the upcoming game from Pearl Abyss, has raised eyebrows due to its online, free-to-play predecessor Black Desert Online's history of microtransactions. However, the developer has assured players that Crimson Desert will not follow suit.

The game's live service model has sparked concerns about the potential for microtransactions, which have been a point of contention in the gaming community. However, Pearl Abyss has stated that Crimson Desert will not have microtransactions, alleviating some of the concerns.

This decision is a significant departure from the business model of Black Desert Online, which has been criticized for its aggressive monetization tactics. By avoiding microtransactions, Crimson Desert is taking a more player-friendly approach, which may help to attract a wider audience.

Crimson Desert is set to release soon, and players are eagerly awaiting the game's launch. With its promise of a microtransaction-free experience, the game is shaping up to be a significant player in the gaming market.
