If reception to Baldur’s Gate says anything, it’s that people hate microtransactions in their AAA games.

Too bad game devs don't care. They make more farming rich morons using micros and FOMO than they could dream of making, otherwise.

Hey, don't blame us poor devs for the decisions that get forced upon us

Hot take: mtx are a good thing as long as they don't cause a significant imbalance in gameplay. There's a reason the price of a AAA game has remained roughly $60 for nearly two decades in spite of increasing development costs and inflation.

People who purchase in game add-ons subsidize those who don't.
