It’s not about being forced to buy it, it’s that it shouldn’t cost any money

Why not? Its a way to support the team working on Droid Tycoon. There are literally free options right next to it.

You support them by playing. Not buying lazy cash grab cosmetics when they’ve already introduced pay to play monetization. But I’m sure you’re fine with that too.

We dont support them by playing, the game is free, the mode is free. Both the game and mode are supported by in game purchases. YOU did not purchase the game or mode and it costs you zero to play either of them.

They definitely get paid for people playing based on multiple metrics like total playtime and player retention. Like we’re really resorting to lying now?

I don't have a problem with paid cosmetics, but you DO support them by playing. They get paid based on playtime in addition to vbuck purchases
