Disastrous Arknights Endfield launch charges players random amounts for purchases: "My whole bank account balance of 1.2k got wiped"

Arknights: Endfield.

Arknights: Endfield had everything going for it to have a huge, successful launch. The new real-time strategy RPG – with factory-building elements and anime girls with cat ears – surpassed more than 35 million pre-registrations before its release, but some eager players were immediately hit with a major issue revolving around PayPal and real money being incorrectly deducted from their balance.

Looking at the Endfield subreddit today tells a concerning tale, to say the least. "The devs need to get this fixed. I got charged for the $69.99 while I was trying to buy the monthly pass," one post reads. Meanwhile, another alleges: "My whole bank account balance of £1.2k got wiped clean and I've got bills to pay tomorrow, this is absolutely batshit insane and unacceptable."
