Microsoft exclusive Gears 5 may have launched to record-breaking commerical success and rave reviews this September, but some fans are quickly souring over the game. Specifically, they're unhappy about its microtransactions - enough so that the head of developer The Coalition has responded to irate fans over Twitter.

Gears 5 includes both single-player and three-player local split-screen or online co-op gaming, and it's mainly the multiplayer side of things that are getting the negative attention right now. Fans aren't happy with the prices of certain items in the game store, or amount of grinding they have to do to buy them without spending real money.

In light of the discontent, The Coalition head Rod Fergusson addressed the Gears 5 in-game economy over Twitter, confirming that things will almost certainly change in the future. "We’re learning as we go. This is a completely different economy from Gears 4 (removed Gear packs) so it will take a little time to work through any issues," he wrote. "Our first attempt is not our last and we will continue to evolve until we get it right." In another tweet, Fergusson alluded to the plentiful free content planned for release down the road, writing that the developer is "just getting started."

"The majority of content is free in Supply Drops (free for playing) and in the Tour of Duty (medals and objectives)," he added. "This is waaaay more free content than Gears 4. And with quarterly Operations giving even more free content including maps and modes." And, to be fair, this is more free content than Gears of War 4, although it still doesn't address players' issues with current prices of the items that aren't free. When another Twitter user pointed this out, Fergusson responded, "And we’re learning and improving as we go. There's no magic wand here. Even small changes take time to create content and design skills and Ultimates."

So, at the very least, the head of the company has acknowledged that Gears 5's in-game economy could be adjusted down the road. Maybe that'll placate some, but exactly what The Coalition plans to do about this issue remains a mystery.

Gears 5 is available now for PC and Xbox One.
