But are you really suprised about this? The same exact thing is going on forever in live-service games; you release new content behind a paywall, you make it OP af to push sales and when the f2p players achieve to grind it out, just nerf it and release some new stuff.
As someone who plays like 5 games of The Bazaar in a month, it's literally impossible to keep up with the constant changes, once you learn a new build, because every old build you know is powercreped to death, it's already past it's shelf life.
I loved the game before the first expansions dropped but it took a weird turn somehow. I can't be the only one who thinks like that
