Earlier this week, Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Breakpoint launched for those who bought the Gold or Ultimate Edition, or signed up to Uplay+, and as we reported, many of these early adopters were taken aback by the game’s out-of-control microtransactions. Of course, players could use Breakpoint’s new Ghost Coins premium currency to buy cosmetics, but they could also directly buy vehicles, weapons, upgrades for those weapons, skill points used to unlock character perks, bundles of crafting materials, and XP boosters for the game’s battle-pass-style progression system.

Well, Ubisoft has now acknowledged the backlash via a post on the Breakpoint forums. They insist the game is not pay to win, but only after removing skill point bundles, XP Boosters, and weapon upgrades from Breakpoint’s in-game store. According to Ubisoft, these “time savers” were only intended to be added to the game in the future, so that those arriving late to the party could catch up. Mmm hmm. Or In other words, “The plan was to sneak this stuff in later, but we accidentally turned it on when people were actually paying attention. Whoops!”
