    It’s exactly the “point”. Nobody is making you buy anything, and the price of the “DLC” items is the difference between the regular and deluxe edition. It’s not like they are charging anyone more for missing out on going deluxe, and if you got regular and only want the camp kit it’s $2.99 instead of the upgrade $10. It all seems reasonable to me, nothing is “pay to win”, and it’s a single player game. If you “cheat” your only ruining it for yourself. Plus modders have already found ways to dupe stuff too.

    And I guess if being reasonable instead of crying because a reviewer didn’t read about the game they were given for free, so be it. I read what I was buying and I’m opting out of the made up drama.

      No the “point” is that in any given game, fast travel is a system that is either there or it isn’t. Particularly in a single player games experience. That’s a feature that’s expected, and locking it behind a paywall, even if it’s listed as a feature only added by dlc, feels shitty.

      It would be like releasing a game, and charging for a pause menu. Some games don’t pause, some do. To lock that basic feature behind a payment is silly, greedy, wrong.

      I feel the same way when I go to some gas stations here. Everywhere has the lowest grade on the left. Then you get this shady AF shell station or something, and the high grade is the left most one. You KNOW they’re doing that to catch people unaware. Is it illegal? No. Does it instill any confidence in your business? Hell no.
