A game doesn't have to be "F2P" to be loaded to the hilt with microtransactions. My guess is he's using a technicality in terminology to dance around the subject. Chances are, it'll be loaded with nickel-and-dime DLC as pay-to-win.Looks like this thread got his attention

For shits and giggles, just looked up Squeenix on Steam and the list of DLC. There's EIGHTY-SIX items available on there. About 5 of those are actual, meaty content packs like maps/missions and such, the rest is bullshit DLC. 24 addons for Sleeping Dogs. 12 for Hitman Absolution. 26 for Tomb Raider.
Fuck this trend and fuck this publisher (and anyone like them). Seriously.
