If reception to Baldur’s Gate says anything, it’s that people hate microtransactions in their AAA games.

Hot take: mtx are a good thing as long as they don't cause a significant imbalance in gameplay. There's a reason the price of a AAA game has remained roughly $60 for nearly two decades in spite of increasing development costs and inflation.

People who purchase in game add-ons subsidize those who don't.
