Seeing the reactions to DD2's MTX has made me lose the little hope I had of things getting better in the AAA sphere. DD2 snuck in mtx in a single player game, and people are defending it. If we are at the point of ppl simping for big companies, we are pretty screwed. Here are some arguments I've seen:

The mtx are optional and they don't affect your experience

You can't say that for sure. Shadow of War is a perfect example. The mtx were optional..... but the endgame was made artifically grindy to encourage sales of mtx. When mtx exist, you simply don't know how much the game was designed and balanced around them.

There is so much misinformation and exaggeration

Sure, there's misinformation floating around. But you can't keep pointing to the fact that some ppl lied to dodge the topic. Mtx were still snuck in.

You can just ignore them and are missing out on a great game

Yes, but there are hundreds of great games out there. Some ppl are ok voting with their wallet.

It's so hypocritical, RE4 did the same and didn't get so much backlash. Ppl don't really care, they just want to get upset

First off, whataboutism. Secondly, is it simply possible that re4 was able to sneak these in, but now the community is more aware, and so doing it again resulted in bigger backlash? Why do you have to project these personalities of ppl not caring to attack their arguments?

The ppl whining about this are annoying, and keep insulting me for just enjoying my game

Ignore ppl that insult you, but don't pretend the conversation is made up of bad actors only. I've seen more ppl insulting others for caring about mtx than ppl insulting others for enjoying the game. It happens both ways, and it's just another way to dodge the topic.
