Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds new monetisation is infecting the game
The luscious Ghibli-style land of Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds is infected by an evil form of monetisation: cryptocurrency. After a rough launch last month, the beloved RPG spin-off has dipped its hand too deep into the money pot, and fans are not happy.
Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds launched with a far more egregious monetisation system than most other gacha games. At launch, saw criticism for its tendency to push you towards spending money.

Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds players will have to get in deep with the cryptobros to continue playing the game. For PvE missions, you must invest in Territe (NKT) to purchase anything; PvP has its own Asterite (NKA) currency. Of course, both require a crypto wallet.
What makes this even more egregious is how much Netmarbles is forcing you into the crypto market. On global servers, Ni No Kuni: Cross Worlds has removed the ability to purchase premium currency with real money.
Ni No Kuni’s disgusting crypto scheme has not only created a worse experience for players, but also invited the scourge of the internet: crypto bots. While the game was previously populated by crypto bots due to NFTs, the bots are now farming for crypto as well.

Of course, Netmarbles does have a way for you to bypass the queue times… for a price. Players who subscribe to the Ni No Kuni:
