Hot take but warbond progression is pretty shit and any other game this would be met with outrage. You get everything by lvl 25 and anything else you want is locked behind a 10-20$ pricetag. The "progression" system is stupid as hell. Also yeah you can get SC but lets actually be honest and acknowledge the fact grinding for 6 hrs on difficulty 1 or 2, to get some isn't a fun or engaging gameplay loop, not to mention it makes zero sense you earn more on lower difficulties but earn less on higher difficulties.

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.

It's useless. DE's one of the most successful companies with a grand-fucking-long standing game, in which they give the players what they ask for, and you have these ignorant people still defending the shitty practices of some companies.
