On Steam, there are already 21 bits of DLC, some of which is for content you don't usually see attached to DLC, like Rift Crystals, which are just a mechanic that help move around a vast open-world that limits fast travel. While gamers have tolerance for microtransactions in free-to-play or multiplayer games, it is always a contentious topic in single-player games, especially when it is simply not limited to cosmetic items. No exception has been made for this long-awaited sequel.
In Dragon's Dogma 2 specifically, the biggest talking point within the talking point of microtransactions are the Rift Crystals, which allow you to move around the map in a fast travel-esq fashion. You can also pay real money to change your character's appearance, which can be done in game, but again is limited and locked behind in-game currency.
When isolated, the various microtransactions aren't egregious at all. However, many players seem upset that not only are they in a single-player game, but are upset by the sheer number of them. To this end, the last few days, the game's release has changed the peaceful Dragon's Dogma Reddit page into a warzone. Almost all of the posts right now are either criticizing the microtransactions or defending the game from this criticism. And it has been getting pretty heated.
