Enougb with the clickbait lmao. Be sure to not fucking say what the stance is so we click your article.

“No, there are no in-game purchases in our game. We believe in providing a complete and immersive gaming experience without the need for additional purchases. Enjoy the game to its fullest without any additional costs or microtransactions.”

In fact, this platform has the ability to add your own little blurb under the link so that we don't have to click through if it's a one-sentence answer.

Never put companies on a pedestal.
Before Larian, it was Bungie, BioWare, Rockstar, Bethesda, CD Projekt RED.

Yup. You’ll always end up disappointed when they inevitably behave just like any other company.

The higher the pedestal you put somebody on, the further they have to fall.
