I'd rather they didn't do this at all.

Please, let's not nornalize nickel-and-diming your customers.

That ship sailed over a decade ago. You can look at the current gaming landscape and pretend this isn't already normalized. Compared to most AAA game releases, this is a step in the right direction.

A step in the right direction would be no pointless MTX, as plenty of other games are doing right now. There are no microtransactions in my copy of Days Gone, for example. Nor are there any in Horizon: Zero Dawn.

And even if it's the popular thing to do, that is not an excuse to let them get an inch. "Oh, but he only beat you a little!"...
