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

I mean I stay away from the mtx games as well. But then I was raised in an age where you paid the price on the box and that was it.

New gamers don't know better. And kids especially have all the time and hardly any of the money, they're happy to throw $10 pocket money at a "free" game they already enjoy for an outfit now, rather than save $70 for a new game they might not like in a few months.
