7 Video Game Achievements You Had To PAY For
4. All Of Them! - The Culling
Now at first, it might be a bit strange to list "all of the trophies" of one game as being ones you had to pay for, especially when you look over the achievements of The Culling and see things like "Win A Team Match", "Get 5 Kills In a Single Match" and "Travel over 100Km Online", but trust me every single one of these is going to cost you.
Why is that?
Well because in 2020, The Culling, which was already experiencing an ailing player base, decided to rebrand itself as The Culling: Origins, an Xbox title with a truly bizarre feature.
"Pay-Per-Play".
That's right, at the time of its launch, players would get one free game per day, and then every other match would cost real money. As you can imagine this made getting achievements in the game particularly difficult without spending a bit of cash to actually get stuck in and earn them!
Thankfully the backlash to this bizarre practice was enough to get the free game raised to ten free games a day, but for a while, this truly was the nadir of microtransaction mess-ups.
