Middle-Earth: Shadow of War‘s microtransactions caused something of a backlash back when it was released in October 2017.
Now the game will be eliminating microtransactions altogether with a new update. The announcement was made on WB Games’ official website on Monday.
Players will stop being able to purchase the in-game currency (Gold) on May 8. They’ll be able to spend any Gold they own until the Market is permanently shut on July 17.
The update coincides with the upcoming story DLC Desolation of Mordor, which releases on May 8.
