I didn't play the first Dragon's Dogma so I wasn't really following DD2's development until I heard about it a few weeks before release. That said, it didn't take me long to pour over all the early access previews from reviewers and the likes and I was stoked to try it out.

Then, after pre-purchasing the Deluxe Edition, I went to install it today and saw a whole page dedicated to it's Micro Transactions in the store. How do you even have the nerve to put any kind of micro transactions in an already fully priced SINGLE PLAYER game. It's so wild to me.

This shameless, money grubbing, capitalist investor direction that big studios are going now will be the death of them. I only booted the game up once so that I could leave this review. Anything that the game could've been is soured by the wholly unnecessary, disgusting micro transactions.

Sad really, I was stoked to play it. Guess I'll just play Stardew Valley while I wait for better studio's games like No Rest for the Wicked and Elden Ring's expac.

Pitiful. Don't be a sheep! Don't support this type of monetization! Especially given the context of it being a fully priced, single player game. Do. Not. Support. Monetization like this.

Stop it. steam has many games with micro DLC on release. All you need to do: don't buy the DLC

I’m also concerned with the number of reviews I watched that failed to mention the microtransactions. It’s been released that all reviewers were provided with a list of which microtransactions would be available so they weren’t blindsided at all. This industry has become disappointing

I advise refund and go play DD!- It's a great game.

Never pre-order. Never buy on day one.
When will people learn?

If you think it's okay for the publishers to SNEAK in an in game store in a full priced game that doesn't even perform well and isn't even an improvement over the first one then you are the reason why it's this bad in the first place. You people need to learn to have some kind of dignity.

The thing with companies is, if you give them an inch then they'll take the mile. A $70 single player game with ANY micro-transactions should NOT be allowed, this is not including denovo, Always online and the one save system.

The reason why we are angry at this is because if we allow Capcom to get away with this all their future games will have more predatory Microtransactions and harsher anti-consumer practices. Other AAA studios will probably follow suit.

I don't know about you guys but I don't want to live in a world were a $70 single player game with Microtransactions is normal.
