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.
