If reception to Baldur’s Gate says anything, it’s that people hate microtransactions in their AAA games.

Though I can't see what DX and SoW audiences has in common. Do they have less casual players than Ubisofts games? Idk.

They were both sequels to great games which had fairly little to no microtransactions. I know I was let down by both, and haven't played either still.

And it's pretty much never true that they don't affect gameplay at all. How would you for example add mt:s to BG3 without it affecting the gameplay?
