What you need to know

As Dragon's Dogma 2 launched on PC Thursday evening, a previously hidden suite of microtransactions became available for purchase.
Things you can buy for the single player ARPG include fast travel points, Rift Crystals for hiring Pawns and buying special items, appearance change and revival consumables, a special camping kit that weighs less than normal ones, and a few others.
In response to the microtransactions, Dragon's Dogma 2 is being review bombed, with the game currently sitting at "Mostly Negative" on Steam.

Dragon’s Dogma 2 is being review bombed

No, it's not. Review bombing is a reaction caused by an extrinsic factor. DD2 is being reviewed negatively because of what's built into the game.

The problem is that those two things look exactly the same without the added context that you can't fit into an easy title and people won't read the details anyways.
