Silver is not pay to win, no matter what anyone says. 90% of its uses are for cosmetics, and any weapons that are unlocked via dungeon keys etc have (for the most part) alternatives.
I think both videos have good points but Cross’ is way more hyperbolic and reactionary.
I agree with Datto on pay to win in that it’s basically non existent unless you have really specific definitions. Unless you could straight up buy something like the immortal or Prometheus lens during laser tag weekend then I don’t think we don’t have pay to win.
Now, paying to have access to trials to be available to play on the weekend when immortal is up and have a good team or dumb luck to go flawless AND get a god roll is stretching it.
I don’t like MTX and I think they’re a bit of a problem but I understand that I’m in the minority and absolutely wasting breath trying to tell people not to pay for them.
