I guess this is probably going to be the new shitty norm with bait and switch for reviews then nickel and dime afterwards.

TF2?

but tbf that basically invented the lootbox which then made TF2 free to play

At least they made it free to play. These games are still charging full price plus microtransactions

TF2 was a better experience before it went free-to-play. I want a barrier that keeps the hordes of clueless children out.

TF2 before F2P was one of, if not the, best multiplayer games. It just wasn't the same after that and good community servers died out.
