Jim Sterling: Activision Shoveling Microtransactions Into Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled


NOTICE: Please note that this video is part of a very selective collection of videos based on what our readers via Twitter and Facebook would like to see on the blog. These videos may not only feature varying disparities in some things, but you may also encounter somebody who is quite negative of the franchise and not just the publisher for this controversy.

To the surprise of only those who haven’t kept an eye on Activision’s modus operandi, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is getting microtransactions.

Yes, a remake of a 20-year-old game will soon allow for the “option” of purchasing Wumpa Coins with real money to skip grinding for them. With a storefront that resembled Fortnite’s, the groundwork was clearly in place.

Yet again, Activision has smuggled microtransactions in long after game reviews were published, weeks after launch, and it stinks. Microtransactions don’t belong in there to begin with, but these post-launch additions are really getting despicable.
