    They say in the article that reviewers were told about the microtransactions. Then they mention that one reviewer said he didn’t read the notes that were sent by Capcom. Why would this reviewer need to go back and rescore the game? If he enjoyed it without knowing about the microtransactions, they clearly don’t matter to the gameplay.

        That’s my point. Reviewers gave it great scores when there weren’t any microtransactions and they haven’t changed anything in the game to make those microtransactions important. You can play the game the exact same way the reviewers did by just ignoring them.

          ~~You misunderstand, the mtx were essentially unlocked in the reviewers versions, not simply missing features. ~~

          Edit: apparently my last edit didn’t get submitted somehow, but I’m sorry about being misinformed and unintentionally spreading it. What I was told was wrong as it was spin that I read of what did happen: the those features were unlocked in the reviews… because they’re in the game, this was conveniently left out. Then I misread that as the games otherwise not having those features.

            Care to provide sources? I had a press preview of the game before release and nothing changed in my version, so I REALLY wonder where you get that information from.

            I haven’t seen anything that has said that. I couldn’t find that in the article either.

            Edit: I don’t care about the downvotes, but surely one of you could’ve replied with a link showing me where it says that reviewers had the mtx unlocked for them while reviewing.
