Suicide Squad S1 resets you to a new rank at level 1. You get an intro cutscene with Joker, but you need to buy him in the store or grind to level 35 on the battle pass to get him for free... (twitter.com)

I've played every single Arkham game as they came out. I was so pissed when I found out this game was riddled with microtransactions, but because Kevin Conroy I got it anyways, and I didn't hate it fully at first, but all you do is grind. I tried so hard to defend this game not just to myself but my friends, and I can't do it anymore. This game sucks, I mean all the Brainiac fights are rinse and repeats of the justice league fights. I don't know why I expected them to include more story as the seasons released, not the half assed barely animated artwork cutscenes instead of fully rendered cutscenes. Corporate greed ruins yet another thing I love.

but because Kevin Conroy, I got it anyways.

Corporate greed ruins yet another thing I love.

I admire the late Conroy as much as the next guy but my brother in christ this mindset is exactly what fuels this level of quality by directly justifying it via your purchase.

You can't solely blame these corporation if you continue to behave in ways that to support and incentivises them to utilise these strategies.
