Split Fiction and It Takes Two developer Hazelight Studios will never put microtransactions in its games, according to director Josef Fares.
In an interview with MinnMax, Fares also said that Hazelight Studios isn’t available for bigger publishers to buy it out. “Hazelight is not for sale. I mean, we will always do what we do, and we love what to do period,” Fares explained. “And we will never be on the stock market as well; get that in, period. And we will never have microtransactions, bullshit, no shit, just make games. Period.”
Recently, Fares also said that Hazelight won’t make live-service games either. Microtransactions are common to in live-service games, as studios and publishers who make them want a recurring stream of revenue.
