The Resident Evil 2 remake ESRB rating came out recently and people are worried it will have microtransactions because of an «In-Game Purchases» designator.
Whether or not Resident Evil 2 remake microtransactions will be included in the game is something that is a potential hot-button topic amongst fans. While Capcom hasn’t announced any sort of premium currency or in-game purchases for the RE2 remake, a line of text in the recently released ESRB rating is giving fans pause. In addition to the standard descriptors of the game’s rating, there’s a line that reads: “In-Game Purchases (PlayStation 4, Xbox One).”
Some have interpreted that line to mean that there’ll be microtransactions in Resident Evil 2 remake that will somehow affect the gameplay. However, if you take the time to compare that line with other games the ESRB has rated and take a second to think instead of jumping to conclusions, you’ll find this line likely means something else entirely.
