We are getting ripped off

Okay, first off, I know every game has to be monetized, and of course the Devs need to be payed.

HOWEVER.

JESUS FUCKING CHRIST it feels AWSOME to have a game that is just a great game and that keeps you playing like that. No Fomo, no other predatory monetization scheme. No gambling. Just great fucking gameplay. Playing deadlock made me realise just how ridiculously obnoxious other games are when it comes to this. Yes, live service games demand a uniquely big amount of money to keep them running. But some studios just go OFF THE RAILS. Especially with games releasing in an unfinished state more frequently, battle passes, gambling left and right.

I know it's not going to last. Some kind of monetization will be implemented. Looking at comparable games it's probably going to be skins for heros or gold weapons or whatever.

What I think would be amazing if it would come with a shop that lets you pay exactly for what you want, without some weird Gacha system or with the coolest items at the very end of the battle pass or some other stuff like that.

I hope I am not alone in that feeling.
