- MTX: score 65; verdict: Aggressive Monetization; summary: The reviews indicate significant dissatisfaction with the monetization strategy of the game, particularly focusing on the exclusion of certain DLC content from the season pass. Players feel that the content should have been included in the season pass, suggesting a potential strategy to sell content that feels cut from the base game separately. This segmentation of content can lead to a fragmented experience and additional spending for a complete experience.
