new edit to yap about the latest Killzone Super Store stuff

TL/DR; This crossover is good, the price isn't okay, and it highlights the other problems with the game's warbond monetization system


As much as I absolutely LOVE the cosmetics, and how I'm actually fine with this crossover, just this first HALF of the two sets of weapons, armor, and cosmetics CANNOT cost nearly 2000 super credits, or $20

Again, this is only HALF, meaning if the second batch that drops on the 23rd costs the exact same, it will be a total of $40 to get all of this, more than the price of the base game, and quadruple the price of a Warbond.

Speaking of Warbond, these items were leaked to be dropping AS A WARBOND
This would track, as there will be three weapons, two armor sets, likely two capes, and one nameplate; about the exact same content as a typical warbond.
My theory is that someone didn't like all the leaks, or saw the excitement for the crossover, and thought they might try to see just how much excited fans would be willing to shill, especially under threat of a time constraint from the Super Store.


All of this has absolutely inflamed my issues with the warbond system.

I am completely fine with them continuing to add content via a paywall post launch, with an in-game currency we can earn, as welll as purchase, but my problems come from how it's becoming where ALL of the progression content comes from, how much the warbonds themselves have nose-dived in quality, and how the warbonds paywall things other than cosmetics; namely stratagems.

I have friends who feel zero motivation to return to the game because they cannot access any new guns, stratagems, or cosmetics without dropping ANOTHER $10 on the game, and even fewer of them have the time time to find and accumulate the necessary Super Credits to circumvent the fee.
I theorize that the fact that those of us fortunate enough to have the time to actually can earn said super credits is the only thing holding back the majority of people's justly negative opinions on how ridiculously overmonetized the warbond system is.

I love this game to bits, and that's why I care enough to write this. So many good changes have come as of late, and I have faith that this will get rectified.
Really wouldn't surprise me if we find out that Soyny is behind this monetization and marketing decision.
