Dragon’s Dogma 2 is a single player, narrative driven action-RPG that challenges the players to choose their own experience – from the appearance of their Arisen, their vocation, their party, how to approach different situations and more - in a truly immersive fantasy world.
Iirc the microtransactions were put into the final game on release. I guess also all of the dlc - they probably had everything unlocked for reviewers, and then locked it for players buying the game.
Sure, but gaming boycotts don’t work. That’s why they are doing this. They rake in tons of money and alienate maybe 1% of their userbase. The reason is simple. The first paid mount microtransaction in World of Warcraft made more money than the entirety of Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty. They won’t care about reviews - sales will go through the roof anyway, and they’ll rake in a shitload of cash on microtransactions.
How did none of the critic reviews catch any of these issues?

This shit should be illegal.
For any other industry it would literally be “bait & switch” fraud.
This seems to happen more and more lately.
It’s misleading and scummy as fuck, and I won’t be picking up the game because of it.
