"Steam MMO Ditches Microtransactions Amid Player-Developer Conflict"

Crema, the developer of the MMO game TemTem, has announced the removal of all premium microtransactions and a winding down of feature-filled patches, following a clash with players over the game's direction. The decision comes after a divide between player expectations for steady content and improvements versus Crema's focus on moving to other projects in the TemTem universe. The update 1.7 will remove microtransactions, while update 1.8 will be the last feature-filled patch of the usual size, signaling a shift in focus for the developer.
