    What was Capcom thinking?

    That nerds would bitch and moan and cry then buy it like they always do. Which is exactly what happened.

        I don’t think that’s true. I remember seeing some of this stuff on store description at the very least and as far as I’m aware, some reviews mentioned the DLC could not be reviewed because it wasn’t live which inferred it was known. I’ll have to research this tomorrow because I keep hearing both sides but this aligns with the fact they were available day one unlike RE4Make

        Edit: A credible source suggesting DD2 Microtransactions were known about by Reviewers and just never mentioned. https://www.forbes.com/sites/paultassi/2024/03/23/why-dragons-dogma-2-reviews-didnt-mention-the-microtransactions/

        I literally took that screenshot right before I made the post. Right this second it’s still the number 1 seller on steam.

      To be fair the developer that said that and the corporate shill that decided microtransactions should be in the game arent the same person

      Unfinished slop will be bought if the game has a devoted enough following/hype, a notable example being Cyberpunk 2077
