honestly sounds like what it's doing is locking certain notable quality of life changes behind paid microtransactions and that's ultimately where it breaks. it's one thing to pay to get a leg up, it's another when it's paying gets you something a person can't do where it gets dumb.

To clarify, these are the exact same types of microtransactions that have been in critical/community darlings such as DMC5, RE2 Remake, RE4 Remake and in fact almost every Capcom game in recent years - they're all nothing more than "pay $2 to get something you can easily get in-game with minimal/zero effort." There's no quality of life being gated nor even really a leg up being gained - I'm not going to say it's not stupid that these microtransactions even exist given how stupid and wasteful they are, but they're so easily and laughably ignorable that it almost feels like they're always added just to check a box to please executives without actually hurting the games in any way.

Why would you expect the average user to know they have to disable Steam Cloud Saves to start a new game?

Well if there's no "new game" button then naturally you'd just delete your save file manually if you wanted to start completely fresh. Upon doing so, Steam will explicitly tell you that it's realigning your save to match the cloud save upon your next boot, so... it doesn't seem like a hard thing to figure out to me!
