Seriously screw microtransactions. I hate this kind of thing where the devs tell you that they're only including it as a way to unlock content by paying money. Worst of all, people are actually eating up this BS. Not only is it wrong for a full priced game, but the real issue is that over time they're going to start introducing ways such as making the grind unusually aggravating so that you're urged to make MTs. Just look at DLCs. They seemed like a good idea, allowing you to have expansions to your games, but soon enough so many devs started abusing it with day one dlc and on disc dlc. Basically locking stuff out of a game so that they can charge you later.

It won't be long before these MTs start to get abused in the worst way possible and the game design goes to crap in the hopes to extort money from consumers.

Once again, not saying that this game has MTs confirmed, but screw any company who does this.

Hear, hear. 

@others: This isn't about Sony vs. Microsoft; it's about the consumer vs. the producer. And right now, all producers, Nintendo included, are finding new and creative ways of taking more money for less product. Maybe instead of drawing battle lines among ourselves and rooting for our favorite brands, we can unite against bad business practices, wherever they may be.

Unite by saying how bad it is online? Because that ain't doing anything.

What you have to do is prevent the suckers from buying this stuff. Boycotting it yourself only means you miss out on something you want to play. And msot gamers just buckle and buy the game regardless. Meanwhile those casual suckers keep paying for the model and the developer is convinced to keep doing it.

Unfortunately, gamers are their own worst enemy. They have very bad willpower.
