The comments online are nuts. "The original had it so it's a nothing burger".

Wtf are you smoking to think it's okay to accept micro transaction on a single player game that's a remake from a decade ago?

I mean the microtransactions are one thing but the headline is also making it seem like the original was a perfectly ethical game which it absolutely wasn't.

Have you see the cash shop items though?

If you want to spend an extra $12 to parade through the pirate game with flaming armour and a molten skin for your boat be my guest I guess.

This is a nothing burger. It's had this shit for years, and nobody with taste is going to buy it, so fuck it, let the fools be separated from their cash.

You can... Not just have it as a micro transaction.

Or do like every other fucking remake in the past decade and include it in the game.
