That's the issue right there, you keep justifying this behavior. This is a 70 dollar game from a giant corporation, which you have to pay to play, and they expect you to pay more. MTX have no place here. They are not putting them in game because of the goodness of their hearts, they are doing it because of greed. If they didn't want you to buy them why would they put them in?

I'm not talking just about this game, this is my opinion about any game. It's time to put the foot down. They are slowly boiling us like a frog, first with day one dlcs and season passes and now this.

EDIT: Let's not forget about performance issues for 70 dollars. The real AAA gaming experience.

I see that I need to repeat myself over and over, but here's another try:

I agree with you. What I fail to understand is why people don't react consistently to MTX in games. Did people react the same way with RE and DMC? They didn't. People are spreading misinformation to have more people complain about the game. People were spreading that it is harder to fast travel because they want you to buy the MTX (it isn't).

Game performance has been fine while playing on the PS5. I thought it was going to be much worse considering what people were talking about on release. But yes, the industry is awful and it seems that playing games on release isn't a good idea these days. I regret a lot not waiting a few months before playing BG3.

I'm sorry if I misunderstood your comment. Because the industry adjusted people's expectations and they got the game anyway. I saw threads just like this about MTX in re4.

But it doesn't matter because we complaining about them are minority, people are gonna buy it anyway, they're gonna shove more of them in the next game and it'll break another sales records because nobody cares anymore.
