You can always join the free people in Zion and stop feeding the machine.
When you are ready you don’t have to dodge those glitches / mistakes / money grabs anymore…
little disclaimer
In the end everyone has to decide for themselves what they like about the game and what not, and if they think paying money makes their gaming experience better than that’s great.
No matter what you or someone else chooses, as long as you have fun you are doing right.
When you start hating the game it’s maybe time for some action (reduce spending / stop spending / hiatus / delete the game )
