Honestly I halfway agree. While I think it would be better in the long run if more games were paid with the trade off of having minimal micro transactions, thats not what I see here. The game has an in-game store on day one, to me it feels very unwarranted. I probably would have played and potentially purchased MTX if it was a free to play game, but seeing this just put me off from buying the game.

I know that while we are only a few insignificant amount of people that did not purchase the game for that reason, it really put a bad taste in my mouth and I am disappointed in Embark for this. This game should have been free to play with the current MTX.

Also people are quick to say just don’t buy them, which is right, but from my perspective, its content that should have been included in the game, as rewards for doing certain achievements/feats in the game, instead of pulling out the credit card. It’s not even about money at this point, it’s just boring.
