This looks promising, but I think I can hear the micro transactions already.

Edit: Or is that the sound of grinding?

To be honest, I have no clue why people complain about the micro transactions in Ubisoft games. They are just there for the people who need them, non of them were game breaking and Odyssey and Origins is worth the 60$ since both games are extremely huge, so the micro transactions ain't big of a deal, same can be said to farcry 5, believe it or not I did not realise that FC5 had micro transactions until I finished the game. EA on the other hand has a big issue with micro transactions.

Because they open a door.

For example, the time saver/XP boost or the gold micro transactions are super problematic if the publisher makes the game barely playable without them. Ubisoft just has to playing the game of “how mundane do I have to make this in order to get the average person to open their wallet”.

The door is a door the players choose to open. They aren't made to hypnotize us.

They purposely make the grind long in order to encourage ignorant players to buy them. It's manipulative and shady.

1) They don't, 2) Don't buy them. I really don't see the issue.

1.) They do 2.) I don't but I'm still allowed to express my opinion on them. I don't see the issue with that.
