I feel actually insane, but after spending over 1100h in War thunderm yet I cannot force myself to return. And when I thought about it, I realized, that the reason is..... battle pass.

The battle pass is the most toxic way of monetization, I have ever seen. And I am shocked by it, because it is so fucking bad, I cannot return to a game I used to love because of it.

@LukeAlmighty From a free to play perspective, the battle pass hasn't given you any less to play with, except for fucking up the war bond shop, but few people care about that one anyway.

Before BP, a grind was something you could do at your own pace. That means, that even the longest of long grinds were just a question of you playing the game.

BP puts a timer on your grinds, forcing you to 9-5 your relax time.

> You must be letting it get to you in some way that isn't rational.

Well, it's a game. I am sitting in chair moving small peaces of plastic. There is nothing rational about this. The entire concept of gaming is based on manipulating your emotion through flashing lights.

@LukeAlmighty You're supposed to let War Thunder manipulate and stimulate you though the tank and air combat, not the battle pass.
