If you are ok with this, you are naive and not thinking about what will happen next. They will obviously push this bar higher with next game if they feel like it’s acceptable because people didn’t protest enough.
Next game you might find yourself having to buy map access because they will say it’s more realistic to play the game without the map, and then add micro transaction for it.
Defending and accepting practices like this is basically destroying our gaming future.
That’s exactly how we ended up with games like Diablo 4
Micro transactions + 70 euro + paid expansions + battlepass in one game and there are still people defending it.
Dude. I get that. If that was the case here I’d be up in arms too. But it’s not. Not even close. This is the equivalent of complaining that you didn’t get the “Twin Humanities” starting gift in dark souls. It honestly is inconsequential to the experience while playing the game. NOTHING is worth paying for and anyone saying that hasn’t played the long enough to realize that. The game is perfectly playable in every aspect and you miss out on nothing.

It’s not about being worthy or not. It’s about pushing a new status quo of being acceptable to have MTXs on a 70 USD game.
