    This aspect of gaming really annoys me. I’m old enough to have played games for months or years because I just enjoyed playing the game. This notion of unlocking shit, seasons, cosmetics etc, whilst fun to be rewarded for, should be a minor reason for playing a game. Once I’ve unlocked everything in Helldivers I’m likely to continue playing regardless because I find it fun - to the point where I’m not sure exactly what everyone is complaining about. So they unbalanced a weapon to make it a shadow of its former self, just use something else you sook. The tiny attention span of people these days does my head in.

      My only issue is I like having reasons to care about finding things at POI… Maxed out with nothing to spend them on, just doesn’t feel great to me at that point.

      Everything else is still fun and I’ll still play it for that, but I do miss being excited to find req slips, and the rare times I get to spend them on something I get a reason to track them down again.

      Doesn’t even have to be a reward, could just be for a mission modifier or something, just to give me a reason to keep collecting them.
