If microtransactions are part of gameplay, they always lead to grind design that pushes to purchase to avoid the grind. If gameplay is fun without grind, why would anyone buy microtransactions.

Still sore about the upper management sex predator ring Ubi did nothing about. Won't buy Ubi ever again. Don't play the Ubi games I own.

They trashed the series (plural) I liked anyway.
