Yeah that’s typically how microtransaction driven games work.

See also:

  • League of Legends
  • Genshin Impact and other “gacha” games
  • Fortnite
  • digital TCGs

(Also all of those are free to play, so minus points to helldivers for double dipping)

We are not talking about "microtransactions in a game". We are talking about pay to win. There is a huge difference, and Helldivers isn't pay to win.
