- “There are in-game purchases, but they are purely cosmetic and do not affect gameplay, which is why I enjoy playing.”

- “The game has just turned into a cash grab title with its season passes, with maybe a few decent skins, which shows the lack of care for the game's problems and focus on making as much money as possible before the game fully dies.”
