I'll be honest, I'm very confused about what you mean when you say that Google Wallet isn't a thing. I pay with my Android phone everywhere, so ubiquitously that I've frequently left the house with just my phone and keys.
Do you mean America, where contactless payment is far less frequently accepted, or the concept of clicking on a "Pay with Google Wallet" style prompt on a website?
Yeah, I enjoyed the ability previously to have an opportunity to paint up a small squad of a random army I wouldn't collect otherwise.
This change not only removes that, but also kills my interest in killteam, to be honest. But I'm someone who liked the customisation from v1, so I'm clearly not the target ๐
