that you needed to go out of your way to even find

CAPCOM does nothing to push you towards them

Hey Tim, go ahead and open up the game's page on any storefront and try to find the system requirements before you see the DLC.

People aren't saying that the items are useful. It would be even worse if they were. The decision to sell microtransactions in a single player RPG, regardless of how useful the things you get for them are, is inherently scummy. It's worth calling it out regardless of how useless the items are.
