The game is at its most predatory and greedy state ever
Wow, has this game become super predatory and greedy. There are now characters and content that are 100% paywalled, and they recently announced an update to their character release strategy that practically means you can hardly ever unlock any new character within the first one or two months unless you buy them. Purchasing the two Battle passes in-game costs 80 USD and it does nothing to help you with the unlocks. They have even said, unofficially, that they want to have everyone spend at least 300 USD a month and they are working very hard to achieve this goal. If this is how you want to play a game that advertises itself as free-to-play, go ahead and download it.
