Two Worlds II adds microtransactions, deactivates console so you can't use cheats

2011.

Topware Interactive have introduced a new piece of DLC for Two Worlds II after a rather long dry spell for content. Unfortunately, it appears they've also introduced microtransations into the game as well.

Need to scratch that RPG itch? Here's a list of the best RPGs on PC.

Fans aren't exactly pleased with the decision if this Reddit post in particular is any indication. Microtransactions being added to a game that's nearly seven years old isn't something that's rubbing players the right way, especially with Steam discussions and Reddit commenters taking note of performance issues in-game after updates, invalid product codes being offered to customers, and frustrating DRM issues.

Originally, problems also stemmed from the fact that the microtransaction store had effectively disabled console commands, meaning you could no longer use anything considered as "cheating" in-game without reaching for your wallet. This was understandably frustrating, since many players utilized these commands to fool around in-game or for other purposes. Redditor thepostaldud3 has since announced that they have spoken with the developer on Steam, who apparently stated that the console commands will be readded to the game.

Aside from microtransactions, the game is getting some additional content. There's a season pass coming that will include four pieces of DLC spread throughout the rest of 2017, with Two Worlds II: Call of the Tenebrae leading things off and followed by Two Worlds II: Shattered Embrace in Q4 2017. The other two pieces of content, Two Worlds II: Echoes of the Dark Past and a map pack, will release in Q2 2017 and Q3 2017.

The game's shit.

...What?

Looks like they are also releasing an HD stand-alone version of their single player DLC. Weird.

Is the whole dev team on crack???

what a freaking joke

and all that for a 7 year old crappy low budget game

Seven years? Bah! That's nothing to these kinds of people. Greed. Greed never changes...

This is the same company,that had online DRM,that also required your home address details with a phone number,as mandatory in it's activation,when installing a singleplayer game.

That game was two worlds,their first game,F**K that company.

Will never buy another game/product from them shadey assholes again.

who is playing two worlds 2?

I'm surprised there was anyone still playing the game to notice.

Didn't realise it was popular enough to still have people playing, let alone popular enough to have micro-transactions, a season pass and content added this long after release.

Weird

It seems so often it's only the bigger games that try to screw people over like this.

Makes me want to fire it up and play!!!

Crashing the x360 with to many spells was great fun back in the day

Well that's the weirdest thing I've read all day. Everything in that story just seems pointless

It's like they are screaming "We still matter!" whilst being kicked off a cliff.
