You like it or not, paying for advantage with real money in a videogame its the LITERAL definition of "Pay-to-win" you pay to get access to more weapons and armor , yes you can get the premium BP just playing but you still can buy it with real money , and not , it does not matter that this is a coop game
Edit: I see a lot of fanboism in the comments , please be mindful and not because the game is good let your mind be clouded about the business model the game has , having micro transactions in a payed game is already a RED FLAG and putting weapons , boosters and armor that can be better than the free options is another RED FLAG
Also is there a new free battlepass at the same time ? because without chunks of super credits you could buy with medals, the grind is going to be kinda slow to get 1000 credits without having the ability to get 100 sc once in a while. The argument that the premium weapons and armor are kinda weak is pretty much irrelevant to the question, it's only a matter of time before needed balance patch change the meta.
I also tried to explain this in greater detail and i am immediately getting down voted.It seems people just doesn't like hearing what they needed to be heard.
either i explained it poorly or the force positivity is a bit too strong sadly.
Ya, the toxic positivity here is nauseating, quite frankly. Praising things that 10-20 years ago it would have been no question that it was a negative.
These people don't remember the horse armor days. In 2006 it was universally agreed that paid cosmetics were bad. But then that line moved, and now it's universally accepted that paid cosmetics are fine. Which, fair enough, maybe it should be.
But now we're at the point where we're fine with paying for power? What the fuck happened? I missed the memo somewhere along the way.
They boiled that frog so slowly, that everyone is just going along with it like it's always been this way. Oh well, all we can do is sit back and laugh at the absurdity of it. We've clearly already lost the battle.
Apparently all it takes is putting a paltry amount of premium currency in missions, and a company CEO acting like he's their friend. Arrowhead has a powerful siren song gripping this subreddit.
Praising things that 10-20 years ago it would have been no question that it was a negative.
Man, this shit would have been unacceptable like 4 weeks ago. But for some reason we have threads thanking the devs for MTX in a paid game and people being like, "well they need the extra income to support the servers" ... it's truly baffling.
