What you need to know

As Dragon's Dogma 2 launched on PC Thursday evening, a previously hidden suite of microtransactions became available for purchase.
Things you can buy for the single player ARPG include fast travel points, Rift Crystals for hiring Pawns and buying special items, appearance change and revival consumables, a special camping kit that weighs less than normal ones, and a few others.
In response to the microtransactions, Dragon's Dogma 2 is being review bombed, with the game currently sitting at "Mostly Negative" on Steam.

...putting microtransactions, paid character edit vouchers, Denuvo, and anti-cheat into a $70 single player only game

This reads like satire wtf

Think of it as their very shitty solution to mods and cheats that so many dumbasses pay for. "Hey, why let those cheat makers profit off of our games? Let's make the cheats ourselves! But you know, for better profit, let's chop off parts of the game and call them cheats instead."
