It's the modern equivalent of an arcade quarter eater, movie/TV show tie in cash grab, etc predatory monetization in gaming. It is bullshit but it's nothing new. Vote with your wallet what kind of games you want to play, but criticizing a game for including mtx without buying the game is a valid criticism because there are gamers who take single player mtx into consideration when shopping.
