What you need to know

As Dragon's Dogma 2 launched on PC Thursday evening, a previously hidden suite of microtransactions became available for purchase.
Things you can buy for the single player ARPG include fast travel points, Rift Crystals for hiring Pawns and buying special items, appearance change and revival consumables, a special camping kit that weighs less than normal ones, and a few others.
In response to the microtransactions, Dragon's Dogma 2 is being review bombed, with the game currently sitting at "Mostly Negative" on Steam.

For the character thing, as long as you don't care about restarting you can delete your save and force steam to overwrite your cloud save.

The rest is absolute bullshit and I hope Capcom gets shredded for this travesty... I'm the type to give a game a chance, and I will play this, but holy shit the greed is disgustingggg

Or you can also play the game and buy the item ingame for 500RC, it's not that big of a deal.

Cool, so if I'm your landlord you have no problem with me charging you $1 every time you use a light switch?

You really are comparing a basic necessity with a game? Talk about a false equivalency geez.

Also, since when is electricity free? This is such a weird comparison.
