No it doesn't. There was a preorder bonus that was free if you preordered. If you didn't, and you want the art and music, then it's $10.
Not remotely microtransactions at all. The purchase you're referring to is the deluxe edition upgrade, which came free to anyone who played the game during the beta, and costs $10 USD for:
Honestly? To call this a microtransaction is making a pretty big and unjustified claim. This is a bonus to chuck the devs a little extra money for the soundtrack and artbook. The additional stuff is moreso a bonus for purchasing the first two. By comparison, CoD charges $18USD for a gun skin.
For even the buggiest of games, there will always be a subset of day 1 purchasers who buy the game and play it for hours and truly don't experience any bugs out of sheer luck.
I've read your other comments. There aren't microtransactions from what I can see, and you're just here to be a contrarian. It isn't working.
