    Fast travel for example? Either I allow it or I don’t. But both decision have a huge implication on the game design.

      You can get the fast travel stones in game, same thing with wakestones. I can agree it is very unecessary to have these obtainable with real money but this isn’t news for capcom and you can enjoy the game the same way just by not engaging with the cash shop.

        Just because it’s nothing new doesn’t make it acceptable for any game, studio or publisher. They are doing this because people are accepting it and know they can get away with it.

          Well, they have been doing it for many games including RE and people weren’t reacting the same before, were they? Is just very weird and inconsistent. The game is amazing, people not playing because of something they can just choose not to engage with because they are being misinformed by other people that didn’t even play are just missing out.

            That’s the issue right there, you keep justifying this behavior. This is a 70 dollar game from a giant corporation, which you have to pay to play, and they expect you to pay more. MTX have no place here. They are not putting them in game because of the goodness of their hearts, they are doing it because of greed. If they didn’t want you to buy them why would they put them in?

            I’m not talking just about this game, this is my opinion about any game. It’s time to put the foot down. They are slowly boiling us like a frog, first with day one dlcs and season passes and now this.

            EDIT: Let’s not forget about performance issues for 70 dollars. The real AAA gaming experience.

        This comment getting downvoted is the perfect illustration of how this is just another circle jerk.

        Every single sentence in your comment is just objectively true and not opinion, but nowadays we vote on reality, not opinion it seems.

          I already accepted that if you don’t go with the crowd and attempt to bring a small bit of common sense in to certain discussions you are going to have an unpopular opinion.
