I fully agree with your second sentence, you don’t have to do it tough, there are avenues in game to do everything. Shortening your play time because you pay is stupid and pointless. The way people demonized the game for something that’s optional that degrades the game experience is beyond me. Saying that they designed the slow game thinking of the money store, when the game is following the spirit of the original very well is idiotic.
As weird as it may sound, I think we’re both correct. The game didn’t deserve to get dunked on so hard but the choice of MTX was a flashpoint for the collective anger over greedy CEOs
Any and all form of MTX that do not expand significantly on the gameplay are satan’s piss. The mere fact that they exist mean that the company decided to increase the profits by putting more chum for the pigs (we are the pigs here) instead of working on something significant and bringing more value to the world. In the long run this is what’s destroying the industry because it promotes the enshittification mindset in the CEOs
I think those downvotes are justified. You should only have to pay for things that give you MORE playtime

In any case, you are entitled to your opinion.

I totally disagree.

That’s what I mean about it being a flashpoint. THIS mtx is on the low end of developer greed but the ridiculousness of it is still notable
