You can still enjoy Dragon’s Dogma 2 without ever looking at its microtransactions and explain how they don’t negatively impact your experience and you can also absolutely criticize the game for its shameless handling and implementation of them.

Dragon's Dogma 2 appears to be receiving a massive update for its second anniversary, possibly related to the rumored expansion.

Capcom commemorated the two-year anniversary of Dragon's Dogma 2 with new artwork that fans say contains hints of a major update.
I don't see Capcom revisiting the game outside of a Switch 2 port. It under-performed and generally when that happens any potential future content goes bye-bye.

Some optimisation improvements wouldn't go amiss, either.

If that’s the case and they give someone an option for something some person with insane disposable cash goes and buys as to not have to go out and find or farm them in 2 minutes, that’s their prerogative.
If micros are some “evil” we have to live with now, these non-necessary ones are the way to go.
Who in here bought them for RE4 Remake and DMC V? I really doubt the majority did and yet those games are heralded as amazing.
They are asking for micros in a SP game and can't give the customers a proper framerate. The reviewers should make this explicitly clear.
