In onze review gaven we vorige jaar ook aan dat lootboxen wel degelijk het plezier uit de game haalde. Ontwikkelaar Turn 10 geeft nu aan geluisterd te hebben naar feedback. In de aankomende Forza Horizon 4 zal er daarom geen loot boxen aanwezig zijn. Bovendien krijgt Forza Motorsport 7 tegen het einde van het jaar een update die loot boxen gaat verwijderen. Ook tokens uit Forza Motorsport 7 zullen verdwijnen.
In een blog update vertellen ontwikkelaars Turn 10 (Forza Motorsport) en Playground Games (Forza Horizon) hier het volgende over
One major area of discussion for the team has been prize crates. While we’ve never charged money for prize crates in Forza Motorsport 7, their presence in the game has continued to be a source of controversy. The overwhelming feedback has been that this system feels out of place in the game. After careful consideration, we have decided to completely remove prize crates from Forza Motorsport 7. Similarly, paid tokens – which were a part of previous Forza games – will not be coming to Forza Motorsport 7 or Forza Horizon 4.
Due to the complexity of removing prize crates from the game – while keeping access to Driver Gear, Mods and Badges – we expect that this process will be completed in the winter timeframe. Starting this month we’ve already taken steps towards that goal, first by unlocking more than 100 previously locked “exclusive” cars and, second, by completely removing cars from the prize crates in the game. The current lineup of prize crates offer no competitive advantage and only offer Driver Gear suits, Mods and badges, and these crates will remain in place until crates are removed entirely
