it kinda doesn’t though, unless you’re able to complete the transaction from within the game. I’m okay with paying $10 for what is essentially a digital t-shirt that says “I paid the $10” and has no effect on gameplay.
I dunno. They’ve provided this for free for Early Access backers (like me), which they didn’t need to do and none of this is required to enjoy the game. I just considering it as a bonus for backers and a small top up for people who don’t want to miss out.
I mean but come on, dlc for in game items - I don’t care how you slice it, that’s a microtransation, even if you don’t purcase from within the game UI.

Is DLC an in game purchase though? I think they are specifying not having micro transactions.
DLC purchased through steam isn’t “in game”.
Edit: I just checked out the DLC and meh 10 bucks for a starter kit, dice skin, and emote.
You’re right, but it does fly in the face of what the actual text in the OP says.
I agree it’s not a bad deal, but it’s still exactly what they said they didn’t want to do

Saying it doesn’t count if it’s not in-game feels pedantic - pretty sure you can’t buy shark cards inside GTA either
And the DLC does include functional items that affect gameplay
I’m not saying it’s an egregious example of it, but its not just cosmetic stuff, and it’s a lot more like a microtransaction than an actual DLC
