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

Do they, though? Companies have been raking billions out of microtransactions, so clearly not everyone hates them.

Food prices have skyrocketed and people still go out to eat. What you are proposing is austerity. People denying themselves things because of price point preference and principals will generally not work because people like having things, like having fun, etc. All it does it ensure companies can squeeze people that have very limited time for their limited cash.
