> I think Fatshark’s vague references to “design intent” are vague because they don’t want to own up to the fact that the rationale behind many of these systems are to maximize the amount of time spent running around the hub, and specifically past the MTX shop, as a way to extract more money out of players.

After the recent controversy that happened yesterday which I won’t elaborate on, but you can see the thread here since it hasn’t been deleted but is only locked thus you can still read it: [Leaked cosmetics proving yet again, that there's alwasy content ready for the Cash shop - #27 by nemy123](https://forums.fatsharkgames.com/t/leaked-cosmetics-proving-yet-again-that-theres-alwasy-content-ready-for-the-cash-shop/71192/27)

I am very cautious with this developer now. Not enough to boycott them or anything though.
