The fact that the best marketing for games these days is just: "Don't be a greedy bastard" really says something about the industry
Yeah i had no interest in buying this because it's just not my kind of game.
But seeing this makes me what to buy it
Thankfully none of the games I'm interested in playing have MTX. Indie is where it's at.
This really isn't exclusive to games either.
Yeah, and the best part is, you don't even have to live up to it. People will buy it wholesale, anyway.
They have day 1 DLC with features such as re-adjusting your character paywalled.

...this comment is incorrect, read the DLC page you linked it says nothing about re-adjusting your character.
It's not incorrect and yep, that's marketing for you. It's hidden behind DLC exclusive "Mask of the shapeshifter".

It's still incorrect, I read that. The item may be considered a micro transaction but it doesn't paywall re-adjusting a character on the fly
It gives you access to the shapeshift spell, which lasts for the duration of the cast before wearing off.
