Borderlands 3 Has No Microtransactions, Will Offer Paid Skins
“We’re gonna do some kickass campaign DLC. And I’m sure we’re going to do all kinds of fun customizations like heads and skins, but we’re not doing any of that free-to-play junk. There’s not going to be any microtransactions, there’s not going to be any of that nonsense,” said Pitchford at the recent gameplay reveal.
Creative director Paul Sage further noted that any skins, auxiliary equipment, and customizable heads wouldn’t be pay-to-win. No additional currencies for microtransactions would be offered to the player either, and there’s no plan to be games-as-a-service.
Anyone who’s played Borderlands 2 and acquired everything over the years will know that there’s plenty of other additional content that Gearbox could charge for. Headhunter packs, story DLC, additional skins and heads, Ultimate Vault Hunter mode, the list goes on. Borderlands 3 at the very least will have cosmetic packs, a Season Pass for campaign DLC, and additional goodies in the Deluxe and Super Deluxe Editions.
At the very least, it seems the development team wants to deliver a complete base game at launch. Borderlands 3 is out on September 13th for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

I really don't get the title of this article but I love the direction they are trying to go to.

Lmao! If any of you guys are wondering why they are calling it paid skins instead of micro transactions is cause Randy pitchford the CEO of Gearbox had a total meltdown on a article saying that there would be micros transactions in the game then said there would be paid skins... Super ironic and he clearly doesnt get the definition of MICRO transactions.

Personally I think this is the way it should be, great model for the game to adopt in current times.
