    If the game is good (I have not played it nor seen any review so I don’t actually know, but the article is making it sound like the only issues are the mtx) aside from the predatory mtx, does it deserve a mostly negative rating ?

    Yes. Yes I think it does. Seems like many other people agree!

      Well I agree too but it’s not a fucking law of physics, the journalist is allowed to have a different opinion on that
