Konami charges $10 for Metal Gear Survive save slot
Metal Gear Survive is the first Metal Gear game since the series creator's exit from the company. Of course, it was target of criticism from fans ever since it was announced, having basically only the FOX Engine in common with Metal Gear and slandered for misuse of the Metal Gear name as a quick cash grab. But is the game really that bad? Apparently, in its core, it's not that bad of a game.
One would imagine that Konami wants to garner goodwill for the game, but in actuality, Konami arguably threw even more fuel to the fire, as early players have found out. The vanilla game supports only one character save slot. For any additional save slot, you would have to fork over 1000 SV coins, which translate to roughly $10 in real world money. What this basically means is that you have to delete your whole progress to start a new game if you don't pay up.
For a number of players this may not be much of an issue as one character may be enough for them, but you could argue that this has the potential to set a dangerous precedent for future games.
What do you think of this? Happy with Metal Gear Survive?
