Iirc the microtransactions were put into the final game on release. I guess also all of the dlc - they probably had everything unlocked for reviewers, and then locked it for players buying the game.
This shit should be illegal.
For any other industry it would literally be "bait & switch" fraud.
This seems to happen more and more lately.
It's misleading and scummy as fuck, and I won't be picking up the game because of it.
Sure, but gaming boycotts don't work. That's why they are doing this. They rake in tons of money and alienate maybe 1% of their userbase. The reason is simple. The first paid mount microtransaction in World of Warcraft made more money than the entirety of Starcraft 2 Wings of Liberty. They won't care about reviews - sales will go through the roof anyway, and they'll rake in a shitload of cash on microtransactions.
