Community manager Hedge made thecommentin response to a player’s question asking why there wasn’t the option to buy exactly the right amount of Aquila needed to obtain Darktide’s skins. “We’re not silent on the Aquilas,” Hedge replied, “you’re honestly the first person I’ve seen to ask about it (we are hoping to add a ‘buy what you need’ feature, it’s just immeasurably complex so isn’t gonna happen over night).”
Since then, the phrase has become something of a meme. Search the Darktide Discord for “immeasurably complex” and you’ll see community members using it sarcastically about different aspects of the game. The “immeasurably complex” phrase soon spread to the Darktidesubredditand the game’sSteam discussions, too.
The devs’ previous game, Vermintide 2, didn’t have this issue at launch. Cosmetic microtransactions were added a few years later, though. It also hasn’t helped the debate around Darktide’s microtransactions that players have found that the game’s Discord FAQ has been edited toremovea mention of earning premium currency through play.
Warhammer 40,000: Darktide costs £33/$40/€40 onSteamand theMicrosoft Store. If you’re a PC Game Pass subscriber then you can download it that way instead.
