Rules:
- 1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
- 2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
- 3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

The bigger problem is that this game even had a battle pass and other monetization tactics at all.
Early Access games should never have a battle pass or cash item shop.
~~Early Access~~ games should never have a battle pass or cash item shop.
Yes, but especially Early Access games.
@RightHandOfIkaros @ylai Yeah, that article has the wrong takeaway from this.
The devs aren't heroes for removing the F2P elements. They never should have been there to begin with.
True, but a lot of people never listen to the fact that they fucked up and they should do something about it. That fact alone deserves some kudos.
