Assassin's Creed Mirage leak points to microtransactions, but fans don't seem to care

gamesradar.com:

Assassin's Creed Mirage may be bringing the series back to its roots with scaled-back environments and a focus on stealth, but one aspect of the more recent entries could also be part of Basim's adventure - microtransactions.

That's according to @xj0nathan who posted an image on Twitter that suggests in-game purchases will be a part of the game.

If they want to throw away their money, that's on them. And in a single-player game, it's not like what someone else does affects me in any way." 

An equally indifferent DanFarrell98 says, "It's fine, there's no need to care. They can be completely ignored. They're just there for the people who want some of the more outlandish cosmetics, not required for anything."

What does seem to be grinding fans' gears, though, is that this potential in-game content doesn't in any way fit with Assassin's Creed Mirage's style. "I have nothing against this, but please make it fit to the actual theme of the game," says AC fan 37ankkuk37.
