Konami Denies Statements from GameSpot that say MGS 5: The Phantom Pain Multiplayer is Locked Behind a Paywall

Yesterday, GameSpot put out an article that said Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain's forward operating base (FOB) multiplayer, was locked behind a paywall. Gamespot said that in order to even play FOB, players had to first purchase an in-game currency, MB Coins, using real world money.

Today, Konami issued a statement to PC Gamer that flat out said that was a complete load of BS.

GameSpot's Peter Brown has decided to sneer in Konami's general direction and has again insisted that FOB can only be accessed by spending real world money.

I guess we'll see who is right and who is full of crap in about a week's time.

  Gametrailers mentioned that they were unable to comment on the micro transactions and how they impact the FOB PVP mode.
  There's a trend at Gamespot of making things sound worse than they are, there is evidence of an alternate currency you can pay for here, but we have no incination of how bad it is.
