Utterly Mad

Well until the game was released I for one heard nothing of it going to be Pay 2 Win. Lot's of people were excited for the new game, and now we are met with sudden payments to be able to progress at a normal rate.

If they wanted money there is so many better ways to do this; like Kickstarter, Indiegogo, Patreon, etcetera. I know of no tale of a pay 2 win where no one complained about it at all, nor a pay 2 win that was very good or well liked for this feature.
I mean by your logic Vulnus, Dead Space 3 is alright for having Pay 2 Win because they might need the money. For a game like H&H pay 2 win will turn lot's of people off, like a lot of us on this thread actually.
