The firm said the SDK helps gamemakers bring real-world products into gameplay, "bridg[ing] the gap between virtual gameplay and real-world retail" and permitting players to link their Walmart accounts and complete secure purchases without leaving their game.

So it's just direct integration with a fulfillment platform to ease merch transactions?

There's one in tear down as well but the advantage of that is you can blow it up. Or rip it apart with a hurricane. Or nuke it.

Teardown is so fun. Haven't finished the story, but I love fucking around with the workshop maps and crazy mod tools/weapons.
