I should also add that people are still very pissed off ( and rightfully so) when Relic Promised that there would be no gameplay elements tucked behind a paywall for multiplayer and low and behold at launch we had gameplay elements tucked behind paywalls and they never ever said "Look guys we're sorry, we got your hopes up."
The one ray of light seems to be that the new factions have a limited number of commanders that can in theory not be bought. Although I still hate the system on principle. I hope coh3 limits microtransactions to skins, decals, faceplates and other cosmetics but it's probably far too late to shut the gate once the horse has bolted.
