Just a clarification (tho it may just be that you wrote that part a while ago) the return of Megas isn't gonna be on the Paldea DLC, but in the next Pokémon Legends game, so yeah, they didn't immediately abandon the idea, which is good XD.
Maybe the DD2 reviewers were under NDA, but the ones ive seen talk about it just say that they thought the DLC was something to ignore because it mundane shit. Which sounds "worse" on them than just saying NDA, so I assume there wasn't an NDA. I'm not condemning them either cause im also just shrugging my arms and going "eh, whatever"
You should play bloodborne if it gets ported tho, its fantastic
Good stuff, my guy. Good stuff.

as another clarification, Capcom were actually transparent about the MTX, it's just that some reviewers either A) didn't mention it because it wasn't obtrusive enough to warrant going over - especially notable since prior Capcom titles were worse about it - or B) quite literally didn't peek into their emails where the review guide document laid it out for them, such was the case for Jez Corden.
@The_Gaming_Dog12 I haven't played competitive for about a year, so this is post-Scarlet and Violet but pre-Indigo Disk.
@DeemonAndGames i saw the phrase "megas are back" and immediately went into a fugue state. good to know that they're not abandoning the Legends concept then, too
@Snigglegros the claim that everyone thought it was too benign to bring up just seemed wrong to me. pat boivin said that he didn't mention it because he didn't care, and suzi spherehunter made an offhand joke to how they were "probably going to sell rift crystals" when she presumably had the same press release that everyone else did which outlined the microtransactions. i could believe a couple of early reviewers failing to mention it, but to my (now outdated) knowledge, it was all of them. something about that screamed of NDA more than it did everyone just thinking it wasn't a big deal. which leads me to
@BlazingWaters thanks for digging into this. i'm definitely not surprised that some people didn't think it was going to be a problem — i didn't think it would be, and i doubt capcom did either — but it's pretty funny to see a reviewer come out and admit that he didn't cover it because he didn't read the attached guide. i think it's less of a sinister coverup than i may have made it out to be here, though it's still as indefensible a model as it was when they started doing it a decade back
@NOWITSREYNTIME17 if i can trick myself into believing that i don't care about bloodborne right now, it'll hurt less when it doesn't get ported
