Want to make a second character in Metal Gear Survive? That’ll be $10

What is this, a charity?

It isn’t exactly breaking news thatMetal Gear Surviveincludes microtransactions, but it seems that Konami has really outdone itself with this one. When startingSurvive, you’ll need to create a character to play with. This character will occupy the single save slot the game comes with.Starting a newcharacter meanseither deletingyour first one or ponying up for another save slot.

While that is ridiculous, the actual price makes it even more insulting. It will cost you 1000 SV Coins (Survive’smade up premium currency) and the only options are either getting two 550 SV packs for $5 each or a single 1150 SV pack for $10. Yes, making another save file inMetal Gear Survivecosts $10.

I couldn’t make this up if I tried, but that is the reality we live in. In some other odd news pertaining toSurvive, apparently the EULA states thatyou cannot seekout romantic relationships or start a campaign (like a presidential or public office campaign) withinSurvive. I have no idea how that makes sense or why Konami would even care, but the sheer insanity of the company knows no bounds.
