I'm sorry but the whole point is the principle of it, I a consumer, and spending $70 ( which may I add is still at least $10 more MSRP than your typical game) which is single player, which pointlessly requires an internet connection(at least to start the game), has an anti-cheat(well technically an Anti-Tamper) and has microtransactions. The only thing this is missing is a battle pass and you have every aspect that the majority of the game Community hates.

This game is literally the embodiment of corporate greed and people buying the game regardless of that and saying "oh the microtransactions are able to be obtained in game anyway" are just eating the corporate "shit-pie".
