Burnout Paradise Remastered won't have microtransactions

Burnout Paradise Remastered, a hi-res redo of Criterion's 2008 open-world racer bundled with the eight DLC packs from the 'Year of Paradise,' is coming to consoles in March and PC sometime after that. It sounds like a pretty sweet package, but enthusiasm was dampened somewhat when someone noticed that the PlayStation Store listing had a line stating, "in-game purchases optional."
It was a notable inclusion because Burnout Paradise Remastered, like the original release, is being published by EA, whose overreach in Star Wars Battlefront 2 is largely responsible for catalyzing the current campaign against loot boxes. Its reputation with regard to in-game purchases is not exactly stellar. Fortunately, that's not actually happening here: The optional in-game purchases notation has since been removed from the listing, and community manager Ben Walke hit up Twitter to say that the listing was a mistake.
