As far as large AAA games go, most have MTX in some form. It all comes down to how they implement them. Every MTX in Gears 5 is cosmetic and has zero effect on gameplay. Nothing in the store can be grinded for because it's only offered through the store. All post launch content like, new maps and map editor pieces, won't cost anything. 

Except you can buy in-game currency to cycle daily challenges to make this Tour of Duty grind much faster and easier. And it is indeed a grind that forces you to play modes you don't want (or use money to cycle challenges) to eventually unlock something.

Not to mention how laughable their "content" of emblems & bloodsprays are. "Most content any Gears game ever had" they said..while technically true, it's mostly those bloodsprays 'n stuff. Geez..

I don't think all mtx is bad. I recently spend 20€ on Sea of Thieves because they added tons of free content for a year and a half before even offering mtx. 

But TC delivered a broken game and have the nerve to offer these predatory microtransactions. 10€ for a character? What, 30€ for a full weapon skin se? gtfo..

I'm already about halfway complete with the Tour of Duty. If someone wants to rush through it, they can spend iron, but 3 months is more than enough time to complete it. Some of the challenges need tweaking, but it's not like every single challenge needs to be completed. The prices for some of the items in the store are too much. There is no reason for a character skin to cost $10. Hopefully they fix it soon. All the issues in the game currently are things that can easily fix. It's not even been out for a month yet.
