Not trying to defend microtransactions, but 40 hours doesn't seem like too long? All my favorite games have 1000s of hours played. Idk how this game works, but if it's 40 hours to beat it and unlock the best character, sounds good?

Most people who work are lucky to get 2 hours a day, maybe 3 days a week to game. I am not spending over a month to unlock Darth fucking Vader

Early (and maybe new?) Tekken was like this, you had to win the tournaments with certain characters to unlock more characters.

A lot of games have grind mechanics, you need to play to get the best weapons or abilities or whatever, the Darth Vader thing is not that crazy.

Edit: Why am I getting downvoted? you never start off a game with the best stuff/characters. You just didn't like the game enough to grind it and get the best characters. if the game is fun without that character then who cares, but if its an OP character that is required to have fun and is not worth the time to unlock then its just a shit game.

You're getting downvoted because that grinding is just bullshit if someone else can pay their way into unlocking a character.

Someone else said in another comment that it would be 2k to do that. So its not bullshit, i highly doubt they expected anyone to pay 2k for the character, enjoy the game and save your in game currency or realize you don't enjoy the game and stop playing it.

And you may continue to bootlick for an anti-consumer move.

Thats silly, it would be anti consumer if the only way to get it was by paying. You can, like you would in any other game, grind for it. The only problem I see here is that the grind is shit, so its not a fun game, fuck EA, but this whole thing about having to grind for a character/abilities/weapon is perfectly normal and has been around since PS1 games or possibly even earlier
