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

    Author got burned bad in the comments:

    “Instead of getting more accepting of microtransactions these days because they’ve become so normalized, I’m moving the opposite direction. I genuinely resent Diablo 4 for sinking so, so much work into its $15-30 armor sets in the store when they could have been farmable in the game, and in-game sets are already starting to fall behind in the seasonal model.”

    You clearly don’t resent it that much, considering you gave Diablo 4 a 9/10.

      It’s not a burn; it’s a poorly constructed comment made out of context. The author’s criticism on Diablo 4 is based within the context of Baldur’s Gate 3’s release. The review for D4 was written before BG3 was released.

      I would be happy if MTX were just a default penalty rule on all game review scores. MTX: Yes. Score -2.
