There is no such thing as an unintrusive advertisement.

... That's not the point here. The point is that they decided that if they launched the in-game shop at the same time as the game's initial release that they would get a bunch of bad reviews. This is worrying mainly for the fact that if they had this train of thought, that means that it must be super predatory.

It's really just disturbing how they have the gall to say the quiet part out loud now with no repercussions

It's easier for everyone to have free meals than a select few, I feel. It would also get rid of an easy target on lower income kids being bullied for having the "free lunch".
