What you need to know

As Dragon's Dogma 2 launched on PC Thursday evening, a previously hidden suite of microtransactions became available for purchase.
Things you can buy for the single player ARPG include fast travel points, Rift Crystals for hiring Pawns and buying special items, appearance change and revival consumables, a special camping kit that weighs less than normal ones, and a few others.
In response to the microtransactions, Dragon's Dogma 2 is being review bombed, with the game currently sitting at "Mostly Negative" on Steam.

Seeing this fuckery from Capcom has given me sight closure and a bit happy that MegaMan is dead

$70 price point for entry, microtransactions for stupid shit, and launches with severe technical issues.

I'm so sick of your shit Capcom.

Capcom really saw the positive hype they got with this previously niche tittle and decided to go all RE4 weeks after release on it day 1. There's not even a new game option, I feel bad for Itsuno but it's deserved imo.

You can get all items in-game but cheats shouldn't ever be a paid feature, I criticized Saints Row 4 back then, I'll criticize Dragon's Dogma 2 today.

Only legislation will stop this.

This abuse is the dominant strategy. If we allow this to continue, there will be nothing else.

Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.
