Halo Infinite's subreddit has been subjected to a lot of negativity over the past few weeks on account of the poor monetization policies present in the game.

As a result, the subreddit moderators have locked down the comment section to put a hold on the negativity. Halo Infinity has put every piece of customization behind a paywall that has angered the fanbase worldwide.

However, it has created a lot of drama around a game that is arguably one of the best. Halo Infinite is extremely enjoyable, but this issue regarding micro-transactions ruins the atmosphere.


The community manager of Halo Infinite has spoken out against the negativity amongst the fanbase

Initially, the developers at 343 Industries were silent regarding the matter. However, the community manager of Halo Infinite has finally broken his silence and hit back at players for the negativity.

He claims that players have all the right to be frustrated, but personally attacking the developers is not good. He has urged them to be more civil regarding the matter and has assured them that the developers are working to fix the grievances.

Halo Infinite has introduced a monetization system that does not leave any scope for earning rewards. Every piece of weapon or armor skin has been made purchasable through real-world money.

Apart from that, the premium Battlepass also does not have any earnable Halo Credits (the currency used to buy the items from the store). As a result, players went on Reddit and Twitter and lambasted the developers for their greedy monetization policies.

However, things went beyond control as the way they attacked was extremely rude and personal. This led the moderators of the subreddit of Halo Infinite to shut down the comment section and even delete derogatory comments aimed at the developers.

In truth, Halo Infinite, a game that was supposed to take over the market in a positive way, has become the centerpiece of drama. This is quite depressing as, leaving the monetization aspect aside, there are no complaints regarding the game.

Halo Infinite has been praised all over the world for being one of the best in the franchise. Therefore, several people feel that if they fix the monetization issue, the game will practically eclipse every other competitor quite comfortably.
