Sonic Origins looks good so it sucks that it has this bullshit attached to it. Reminds me of the confusing business model that RAGE 2 had for it's DLC where you couldn't just buy it on the console digital store like normal oh no, in order to access it you had to buy a certain amount of premium currency in the game and then spend that to unlock the DLC(and of course they leave you just enough currency left over to temp you into buying more, and the most efficient way to get the DLC is to buy two packs of the smaller currency).
