Warhammer 40,000: Dark Tide launched on November 30th after a few weeks of pre-order testing, but some players have been quite pleased that the full-price game includes microtransactions. In particular, the Darktide player is vexatious that the co-op action game offers its Aquila premium currency packs that are just below the price of some items in the store, meaning you have to shell out some bundles to buy those. Joining Darktide’s Discord to ask why you can’t buy a specific amount of Aquilas for the items you want, one player was told by a Fatshark spokesperson that adding such a feature would be “extremely complicated” “.
Implemented Community Manager Hedge comment in response to a player’s question asking why there isn’t an option to purchase the exact amount of Aquila needed to get Darktide’s skin. “We are not silent about Aquilas,” Hedge replied, “to be honest, you were the first person I met to ask about it (we hope to add a ‘buy what you need’ feature, it’s complicated.” infinity so it won’t happen overnight).
Since then, the phrase has become something of a meme. Search for “incredibly complicated” in Darktide Discord and you’ll see community members using it to mock various aspects of the game. The phrase “extremely complicated” quickly spread to Darktide annex and games steam discussionalso.

It also didn’t help the debate surrounding Darktide’s microtransactions when players discovered that the game’s Discord FAQ had been edited to removed refers to earning premium money through playing.
Whether or not letting players decide exactly how many Aquila they want to buy is beyond the reach of ordinary people is still controversial. However, amid the harsh comments is the suggestion that Fatshark is working on implementing the feature, along with more rollout. fixed version to solve some problems of the game.
