Strictly speaking, I'm not opposed to monetization in f2p games but the pricing is egregious.
When the le seraffim bundle for overwatch 2 dropped they also put their in game currency on sale so you could get enough currency to get the bundle for $50 instead of $70 and people were calling it a great value.
Even at $50, that's enough for 4 months of humble choice which would net you 32 games and 6-8 of them would be AAA games.
