Unless there’s a multiplayer aspect where it gives an unfair advantage, while it might be a bit unsavory and potentially predatory, I think being able to get those mtx in game “legit” without it being a slog is honestly much less shitty then other MTX I’ve seen.
This was my understanding as well, it makes the math make sense but we haven’t actually “proven” it, it’s possible we’re misunderstanding some fundamental aspect of physics but given all the evidence this is what makes sense.
