I dislike the microtransactions as well, but there’s an insane amount of disinformation about them in these discussions.
Almost all of the items are easily obtainable in the game by just playing, so there’s no gating of content behind the paywall. It being a single player game, there’s also no competitive advantage to be gained by buying them for real money (or inversely lost out on by not buying them)
The whole discussion is blown widely out if proportion.
I view the mtx as basically paying for cheat codes. I’m not interested in using cheats but am opposed to companies trying to monetize them. It’s straight up mobile game level of BS in a PC game. Tbh though, if the store button wasn’t available in the main men, I wouldn’t even know the mtx exist.
