It’s qol stuff that they sell for extra money. It doesn’t matter how obvious it is. The problem isn’t that it was hidden, the problem is that it exists.
There’s obviously not enough in game if there’s a need for the mtx. Even if the game is perfectly fine without, it’s still shitty to sell mtx in a single player full price game so… I’ll just wait for the crack.
I saw it as a way for people that didn’t want to shell out $10 for the next SKU up (Deluxe) to just buy the pieces they wanted. The items this guy was crying about not getting in his free copy should not have been labeled DLC though, as that clearly gives people a false sense of what they are. I have also read of several mods already that can dupe and add things into the game negating the need for a crack, unless you are looking to rid the DRM specifically.
It’s the modern equivalent of an arcade quarter eater, movie/TV show tie in cash grab, etc predatory monetization in gaming. It is bullshit but it’s nothing new. Vote with your wallet what kind of games you want to play, but criticizing a game for including mtx without buying the game is a valid criticism because there are gamers who take single player mtx into consideration when shopping.

It’s all stuff that is available in game. This is a bunch of bandwagon people that don’t even have the game crying over this made up drama for clicks.
