Nexon’s The First Descendant has just been released and has opened up to a favorable score on Steam and Metacritic. Nexon’s The First Descendant is an online-only shooter looter game functioning under the same umbrella as the likes of similar MMO lite giants like Warframe, Destiny 2, and The Divison 2. The game is based on a free-to-play model with a focus on in-game purchases with a Battle Pass system.

It is only normal for games to discover bugs upon release, as a large player pool helps determine what is not working properly. But these bugs can often cause a lot of discontentment as they hinder the experience of the game and do not leave a good first impression on players. Nexon’s The First Descendant has fallen victim to that.

A bug has surfaced upon its release that has become a major cause of worry for a lot of players as their money is not being reflected after the in-game purchases, and this has become one of the major reasons for the developers to worry about and fix the problem as soon as possible.

One Reddit user shared their concerns about the purchases they had made. They said:

Nexon’s The First Descendant is free to play and relies heavily on In-game purchases to generate money. If that system is broken, it can cause a huge blunder, which would be directly proportional to the sales made by the game. The game cannot have its only source of income broken. Players are having a hard time making in-game purchases at the moment, which is not a good sign for the long-term sustenance of the game.

It is still very early in the game’s life to make amends and be cautious for more bugs in the future. Nexon Games needs to act fast to regain the players’ trust by promptly addressing bug fixes with a promise of being alert at all times in the future as well.

Nexon Games needs to do the same to win back people’s confidence again by fixing the currency bug and saving their only source of income, which seems to be in bad shape at the moment. We can hope for a speedy recovery from Nexon Games, as they are sure to be already behind the problem.
