10 Most Overpriced DLC Packs In Gaming History
10. Save Slots For $10 - Metal Gear Survive
A save slot is not something you’d think would need to be purchased in a video game. However, the always impressive Konami managed to make it happen.
There’s no exaggeration here, no hyperbole or hostility. The simple truth is that within Metal Gear Survive, the bastardisation of Hideo Kojima’s Metal Gear Solid, in order to utilise more than one save, you must do so using in-game credits. 1,000 credits, exactly, which you can buy 1,150 of for $10.
There’s nothing more to it than that. Metal Gear Solid V had its flaws, huge chunks of it were cut, including almost the entire ending, as a direct result of time constraints and meddling from Konami. Many speculate that the development of V: The Phantom Pain, is the direct motivator behind Hideo Kojima and Konami’s falling out.
Does that bad blood really justify such scummy tactics, though? Skins and horse armour aside, no developer has ever stooped as low as $10 for a save slot.
Thankfully, Kojima is now off doing bigger and better things with his newfound studio, funded by Sony. All the while, Konami are wringing the last few drops of profit they can out of someone else’s beloved creation.
