Also from the review I watched there are skins/Armour that give buffs in game that cost real money and guns that can be bought… can be “earned” witch I love but I don’t love that it affects game play

The first one did a really good job of having an interesting range of guns and abilities which were very well balanced. There was no ‘best gear’. I’m sure they’re able to have things worth buying that don’t give you an unfair advantage over people who haven’t. It’s a morally hazardous area though.

It is that slippery slope that I am not ok with. For example I am not exactly ok with other games gives XP boost or weapons, materials, etc in a season pass.
