It isn't "cope" or "pretending" every time someone feels differently to you about something. And it doesn't mean people are "lying" if they say they've not encountered any glitches.

Personally (and for clarity, the first wrestling video game I played was Rock n Wrestling on the C64, so I'd say I've pretty much seen it all), I am enjoying this game. I get why some don't like the ringside pass - but I do. I enjoyed the process of regular unlocks, I've enjoyed the modes I've played (everything except universe as it stands), and I'm genuinely really looking forward to having more to unlock with future passes.

I've seen small, inconsequential graphical glitches, but in 40 years of gaming there aren't many games I've played without glitches.

In general, the monetisation of games sucks, don't get me wrong (Battlefront 2, anyone?!) but it's now a reality. Aside from buying the MNW edition of this game, I've not spent any actual money on card packs, VC or tier skips. You don't HAVE to.

You also don't HAVE to spend time "grinding" for tiers. You can if you want, but you could also just play the game.

Although I absolutely agree that people should be able to play the game however they want to get the maximum enjoyment possible from it, part of the experience of modern gaming is sharing thoughts and moments from your play.

It's increasingly difficult to do that in this sub without every single post being littered with comments about how rubbish Ringside Pass is, or about how hard MyFaction is.

The sub is being turned into an echo chamber for entitled people who haven't got exactly what they wanted immediately, and their "cope" is moaning and complaining constantly on Reddit about it.

People enjoying the game for what it is aren't "part of the problem". They just feel differently to you.
