Read this and you'll know why I'm so pissed at Activision now.
If you don't have time to read, then I'll sum it up briefly; Crash Bandicoot 4 will have microtransactions. -_-
Mod edit:
"As spotted by VG247, the Microsoft Store page for Crash Bandicoot 4: It’s About Time has a little disclaimer under the game’s pre-order button that says “Offers in-app purchases.”
The good news is that the Microsoft Store flags any and all microtransactions in games and apps, from paying to remove ads to buying in-game items, which means that there’s a very real chance that these in-app purchases are simply cosmetics."
Mod edit 2:
Confirmed by Toys for Bob, NO microtransactions;
