lol. First it had denuvo and now microtransacrions? pathetic

There is a pidcast that i like and they both praised the game and got sponsored by Capcom. I think i have to sit out the next episode, because i kinda don't want to hear them vwing apologetic towards capcom.

Nobody knew about the micro transactions until right before launch, to be fair

Agree, but I also read that it was in the review guide they provided for reviewers that apparently everyone missed.
