[PCGamer] Helldivers 2 is the least I've felt pressured to spend money on a game in years, so of course I'm buying everything in the store - Lemmy.World

Why is there content in the game I paid for that I can’t access without paying even more?

If you are genuinely asking, I can play Devil’s advocate:

Because then they can set the price at 40 USD, making it more affordable, and possibly make back the difference with some (mostly) cosmetic premium content.

Helldivers barely have enough content to justify 40 bucks. It makes up for it in presentation though
