Dragon's Dogma 2 Lets You Play Catch With Pawns, Fans Delighted
Dragon's Dogma 2's pawns have received some changes, making them more useful than ever. But one of these changes doesn't really seem to have any practical use outside of messing around as, for some reason, the devs taught them how to play catch.

This led many to fear that the game had been made grinder and more tedious to incentivize the purchase of microtransactions, as is the case with other games that deploy similar monetisation practices. Some who have since played the game have said this isn't the case, but it has still stained an otherwise exciting launch.
Capcom responded to the backlash, but only to highlight that the items can be found in-game. It has pledged to roll out
