the pay model paradigm has shifted, Yes. But value hasn't. The prices for in app purchases in this game and games like this strikes me as akin to highway robbery. The difference is that the robbery can be intentionally avoided, so I do.

But definitely very appreciate for the impatient amongst us who keep the lights on for the corporations who have figured out the willingness of some people to pay the highway robbery rates.

*shrug* I've purchased two "21 days of crystals" packs so far. The $15 (Canadian) is equivalent to 24 minutes of work for me, so I figure I'm worth it.

I think of it as paying for a subscription to an online game like WoW. I get enjoyment out of SWGOH game, I like the game play (more or less), and I love the universe it's set in. I'll never spend mass amounts of money on it (spending mass amounts of money is what my wife and son are for!), but I totally understand why people would spend that. For me, $15 a month every few months is reasonable. For others who don't have as much discretionary income, they can't see spending any money at all. And for some people, spending $100 or more a month on something they enjoy is worth it for them.

To each their own.
