State of Decay 2 will buck an industry trend and not feature any microtransactions, apparently. Jeff Strain, the studio head of developer Undead Labs, confirmed this to IGN in an interview. The story doesn't feature any quotes from Strain, but the report says "there won't be any microtransactions" in the zombie game.

This is notable because many games, from developers big and small, feature microtransactions as a way to pull in more money beyond the initial purchase price.
