The most insane part to me still isn't necessarily the money-grubbing shit, because capcom has been doing that in basically every game they've made for a while now. It's sad to me that dragon's dogma is kind of, the outlet for getting shit on, with this, basically because the other games they put out have built-in fanbases and engagement that are gonna ignore the monetization. But maybe they also have more easily ignored monetization, and it's not as though dragon's dogma doesn't have a fanbase, even if the fanbase is much smaller than the others.

Anyways, the thing that really baffles me about this game is that it's not multiplayer. That seems like an obvious sell. Is there like, some idea there that they'd be cutting in on monster hunter's turf, or something? I dunno, the pawns just seem kinda annoying, and the game, overall, seems kind of mid. I haven't seen a large amount of it, in any case, but maybe it's just sort of, the monetization and denuvo is kind of the final and most prominent cherry on top of a dog shit sundae, and nobody's talking about the actual game itself being maybe more mid because of that. I dunno, though, I legitimately haven't seen much on this game outside of this.
