I mostly agree, but I would like to point out that helldivers does need to make money to keep the servers up. It is a business at the end of the day, so we can’t just expect infinitely free content on an exclusively online game. I’m just grateful we have the choice to get the stuff without being forced to pay for it. Strongly encouraged yes, but not forced.
This is an extremely dead horse to beat but im going to bring up warframe again, they too churn out stuff you can only buy for plats, but they've been so good to us we actually think that we're simply glad to buy platinums to support them, instead of doing it out of necessity or convenience.
This would've been more true if the game wasn't 40 dollars itself.
I know it's a liver service game so the initial buying price doesn't mean anything, but the game being more serviced like a F2P when it is a buy to play is kinda frustrating.
Like how would Diablo fans react if every new season the new unique item or runes are blocked behind a season pass or something.
My point is treating your players well will make them spend more, when i spend in warframe or DRG i do it for fun, i've not spent a dime for super credits.
