I think this nasty practice by TopWare deserves its own thread. Original story here:
https://www.reddit.com/r/pcgaming/comments/6hlbto/topware_interactive_has_added_microtransactions/
Two Worlds II is an RPG game from 2010 and the latest expansion called Call of the Tenebrae was released yesterday (more than 6 years later after the main game!) and it brought some "interesting" new features. First of all, it added microtransactions and they all affect the gameplay quite severely. Some examples here:

Basically you can now buy gold, weapon upgrades, skill books, you name it. But that's not the most interesting part. The new patch also blocked all console commands, because some of them could be used as cheats. What's worse is that some of these commands were used to spawn items in case of a bug (like the horse getting lost) and if you've played the game you should know how buggy it is.
Hopefully someone will read this and reconsider a purchase. TopWare has always been a pretty bad publisher (remember the Raven's Cry drama?), but this is a new low for them.
