Spectre Divide Backlash Prompts Skin Prices to Lower Soon After Launch

Mountaintop Studios, the developers behind the newly released FPS, Spectre Divide, have announced significant price reductions for in-game skins and bundles following immediate player backlash. This adjustment, implemented mere hours after launch, addresses widespread criticism regarding the initial pricing structure.
Price Cuts and Refunds
Game director Lee Horn revealed a price decrease ranging from 17% to 25% across various items. The studio's statement acknowledged player feedback, stating, "We've heard your feedback and we're making changes. Weapons & Outfits will be permanently decreasing in price by 17-25%. Players who purchased store items before the change will get a 30% SP [in-game currency] refund." This refund will be rounded up to the nearest 100 SP.
Importantly, the Starter pack, Sponsors, and Endorsement upgrades will remain at their original prices. However, players who purchased these alongside the Founder's or Supporter packs will receive the additional SP refund.
Mixed Reactions and Future Outlook
Despite the price adjustments, player reactions remain divided, mirroring the game's current "Mixed" rating on Steam (49% Negative at the time of writing). While some players appreciate the developer's responsiveness, others express continued concern. One player on Twitter (X) praised the move as a "start," while another suggested allowing individual item purchases from bundles.
Conversely, some remain critical, questioning the timing of the price reduction and expressing doubts about the game's long-term viability if this trend continues. The intense competition within the free-to-play market adds to these concerns. The initial high cost of bundles, such as the Cryo Kinesis Masterpiece bundle (originally priced around $85 or 9,000 SP), fueled much of the negative feedback.
