Co-op roguelike game Inkbound from Monster Train developer Shiny Shoe is removing all in-game monitzation to avoid FOMO and to get with player sentiment.

    Yeah that’s right! Games like stardew valley, factorio, Terraria, Binding of Isaac, Hades and others could really learn from those brave heroes and finally remove the Battle pass and all the other payed content!

    Edit: /s… Duh!

        Those titles don’t, the person you’re responding to is being sarcastic because the article sorta implies that removing the microtransactions from an indie title is somehow novel.
