Take Two: Red Dead Redemption 2 Will Probably Have Microtransactions
And even as the rhetoric around microtransactions continues to get toxic, it sounds like the upcoming Red Dead Redemption 2 will probably have them. Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a recent financial call that the company earned 42% of its revenues thanks to microtransactions last quarter- so this is something they are looking at going forward.
“We aim to have recurrent consumer spending opportunities for every title that we put out at this company. It may not always be an online model, it probably won’t always be a virtual currency model, but there will be some ability to engage in an ongoing basis with our titles after release across the board.”
The good news is that, the way it is worded, it could just as meaningfully apply to single player expansions and DLC well after the game’s release, much like what GTA4 and Red Dead Redemption got- but considering the relative, sustained success of GTA Online compared to those, I am not sure I want to be that optimistic about this, either. Red Dead Redemption 2 will launch on PS4 and Xbox One next year.

Let's all take a moment to reflect on how much shark cards made Take-two and R*, If you were in their position a bit of out lash from fans is definitely a billion dollar industry.
While I myself have actually never spent money on a "Micro transaction" for skins, money, camos, etc I can see why companies take this route.. Unlike in COD though R* tries to balance out the BS compared to other devs. Most Devs don't get a say on micro-transactions its the publishers and parent companies who encourage it.
So yes to sum all this up of course they're Micro-transactions in this game un-doubted.

Im not liking the sound of this, I hate it when Microtransactions get added to a game it just wrecks the whole game, Don't know why they don't just keep it old school like on all of the old games.

God i hate to see what games have come to.... Making micro transactions as a main profit margin is dumb.
