I genuinely could not care less that CDPR is putting microtransactions in the MULTIPLAYER standalone mode of Cyberpunk. I fully trust them to make it a fair system like Warframe or just a simple battlepass that only includes cosmetic items.

But there are a lot of people unhappy with the studio right now.

The damage control in the replies... You guys crucify other companies for crunching and adding microtransactions, but then decide to turn your heads when it’s CDPR. We just want people keeping the same energy. https://t.co/qRRWMCuyZc

Many are defending the company based on its track record.

I fully trust CDPR. They have not deceived us in the past nor have they released a greedy or bad game. So have patients and wait to see what the full situation looks like.

Yet, it seems that some are holding them to a different standard.

Gamers: Microtransactions should NOT be in $60 AAA games!
CDPR: Hey guys, Cyberpunk 2077's multiplayer will have microtransactions!
Gamers: It's okay we trust you guys :)

A lot of people are arguing just that.

Gaming companies shouldn't be held on a pedestal.

i don’t really see CDPR as the “messiahs of gaming” like everyone makes them out to be.
getting clingy towards a game company is incredibly dangerous behavior and has been proven so time & time again.
gamers “get betrayed” like every other month, this isn’t anything new

For now, fans will just have to wait and see what happens.

I mean, reputation matters in this context. If Activision stated this, I too would call bs on it. I’m not excusing CDPR, but I trust them enough to wait and see how they handle things before judging.
