Recently, a major update called "Third Edict" was released for Path of Exile 2. Grinding Gear Games also introduced new microtransactions.
The format familiar to players is used: a "box" with mysterious contents:
«In the Third Edict Mystery Box, you will find 56 microtransactions (including variations). Many of these microtransactions have a different number of thematic variations, and you will never receive a duplicate».
Not all gamers are happy with microtransactions, and some dissatisfied Steam users have begun awarding the Path of Exile 2 developers' announcement with "clown medals" (although the official name of this award is "Jester", it is used by many community members as a kind of insult).
This time the "rebellion" is small — several dozen awards. The update itself received many positive reviews, and the developers implemented much-needed improvements.
