Wolfenstein: Youngblood has just been released on the PC (it was meant to come out tomorrow but the game was released a day earlier on Steam). Now in case you haven’t heard yet, this latest Wolfenstein game features numerous micro-transactions. However, it appears that PC gamers can easily bypass them.
The game’s built-in store features gun upgrades, gun skins, character skins and boosters that you can buy with standard coins or gold bars. Standard coins are the in-game currency whereas Gold bars are the game’s microtransactions.
Now what’s really cool here is that the store allows gamers to get stuff either buy using Standard Coins or by using Gold Bars. We’ve searched the store and we couldn’t find any skin, booster or upgrade that required both Standard Coins and Gold Bars.
Here is an example of how the store works. As you can see, for this particular skin we can either use our Standard Coins or our Gold Bars.
What this ultimately means is that by using CheatEngine, PC gamers can increase the amount of Standard Coins to ridiculous heights in order to get everything, without having to grind and without paying at all.
Obviously, the use of CheatEngine may be considered illegal so we suggest using it solely in Offline Mode. Avoid using it while playing online as it may get you into trouble.
So, all in all, there is currently a workaround so that PC gamers can enjoy the game with all the good stuff from the get-go. It will also be interesting to see whether MachineGames and Bethesda will release any patch so that they can prevent this CheatEngine workaround.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.
