In my 'What is Pay to Win' video I made the statement that Dragons Dogma 2 had claimed to be a game without fast travel, and now it is selling fast travel in the shop exclusively.
This was incorrect, the designer claimed fast travel was only needed if the overworld travel in the game was boring, and the majority of the items in the shop are achievable in game.
In this video we will go over every DD2 microtransaction item and see what they do, to clear up the confusion.
Thank you for pointing out my mistake.

In a previous video I made an incorrect claim about the fast travel system in the game Dragon's Dogma 2. This video is an acknowledgement and apology for that incorrect information and a more thorough look at what is actually in the cash shop. Many of you called me out on the mistake, thank you for holding me to a high standard as a content creator, but a few of the more extreme personal messages could probably be toned down a bit.
-
In your defense, a $70 game has no business having over $40 in microtransactions.

Since you read all the comments, I hope you read this one: You've given me and many others many hours of free, high-quality entertainment and research, one small understandable mistake is not going to tarnish all you've done, especially when it's so rare for it to happen that you made an entire heartfelt video to correct it. I love your content and will keep looking forward to all your releases, you're a gem on today's content creation and I appreciate you =)
-
You do a fantastic job with your videos and you're always very detailed and insightful in your opinions on them, you have kept my interest with your videos for years now
-
"try your best to not put your love of a game before your care of a person" was a great thing to say and more people really need to listen to this advice not just for gaming, but for a lot of things. Also, the fact that you even put out a video saying that you were wrong shows that you have more integrity than most content creators.
-
I got a good laugh imagining the people typing some of the comments I saw like "people look up to you josh, how could you do this". As if making a mistake about teleportation in a video game was having a catastrophic impact on peoples lives.
-
The irony of the dramatic responses you have received is that another point you made in that video covers this perfectly. These purchases in games are such a slippery slope and have become normalized so much that we have begun to argue the semantics of something being not that bad or overly predatory in nature rather than arguing pay to win/progress at all.
-
I love your content and I always enjoy browsing whatever streams or commentary you put up each day. Keep on keeping on, and thanks for being there.
-
This isn't the first video of Josh correcting himself. He's probably the only content creator I know with that much integrity. Hats off to you good sir, you have my respect.
-
Now apologize for not releasing Morrowind 2 Josh!
-
I don't play any of the games you talk about but I love your videos just because I think you're a great guy. This video only reinforced that. Keep up the great work mate😊
-
You do great work brother, love your videos. Help me when feelin alone ❤
-
Huge respect for not only acknowledging that you were wrong, but also calling out people who went over the line in a respectful manner at the same time. One of the big reasons that a large amount of us do have so much trust in you.
-
Hard to blame Josh when the entire internet is misinformed
-
Hey friendo. Your videos are very fun to watch. I mostly only play ESO, but it's interesting to see how you dive into so many different (often broken) MMOs and shed light on weird obscure games that have barely seen the light of day. It's crazy how you could put so much time and care into playing so many games so often, and that's a level of dedication that I don't see on YouTube all too much.
-
Great video Josh. Lovely to see that you remedied your fault, youre great. Looking forward to more videos.
-
You didn't lose my trust. People make mistakes. But it's cool that you corrected yourself so quickly. I love your content!
-
the cool thing about following you for a long time is that i heard the phrase about DD2 in the P2W video and thought "oh he's going to do a follow up for sure i don't even need to say anything" and here we are. Great work as always.
-
and this is why Josh is one of the best, whether it was a little mistake or not he will openly address issues straight away and won't just pretend he never said it
-
Thank you for being the only one that has live up to the mistake. You're one of the only that has went back and corrected this. Everything other then the Tent is all in the game from the start.
