This is not a complaint…
People put in work on this game and should be paid. I am a big fan of this game.
But if you are going to monetize leaders why not give away main game. Once people get invested in playing this game they won’t quit til Starcraft 3. Selfishly I just want HW2 to be super successful so the RTS genre lives on and flourishes.
Are you really that poor
Really, You’re Insane, Something called season Pass Pay once get a bunch of stuff FREE
That’s how business works now it’s either Micro-Transactions to pay for DLC or payed DLC and obviously the Blitz packs don’t sell well enough for free dlc.

Erm… you do realize that you pay for the season pass, which is just pre-ordering DLC? So you don’t get it for “free”?
Just saying…

Definitely not a bunch of stuff free more like it’s discounted if you buy it in a bundle.

Sure, but it’s not free.
Sorry, I’m just being nitpicky here.
Just saying… almost all “phone games” run off model of free main game and pay for “packs/leaders”…
Just throwing out an idea to grow player base.
Im in no matter what.

It would certainly grow the player base, but it’s completely impossible, especially this far into release.
I think the game would make more money if it was free to play. But there were more micro transactions. Unit skins, leaders are pay to unlock (increase the price of season pass), new maps cost money to buy, leader skins, different banners and base/minibase skins.
Just my opinion but I think the value of having a free game with a lot of micro transactions (that don’t affect actual gameplay Ahem Blitz packs) is seriously underrated.
Look at SMITE for example, the game is completely free. With the exception of the GOD pack (£20 and unlocks all characters) none of the micro transactions give the players any advantage, yet the game still makes a fortune as people want to have the new and exclusive skins.

They could make it free for people to buy now and give everyone who already has the game the equivalent amount of money they spent buying the game as in game micro transaction currency.

“It’s free but you have to pay for it”
Why? You pay money, you get a product. You don’t pay, you don’t get it. I do wish there was a way to get him from other means, but this isn’t much different than Bungie Halo’s map pack system.

Except you’re still playing against people who do have the new leader. If deciding not to buy Kisano, Colony, etc. meant that you would not face them as well, that would be a different story. Another difference is that there were only ever like 2 map packs per game. I do not like the idea of spending $6.00 a month just to play the most current version of the game. It’s basically an optional subscription where if you choose not to pay, you have to sit in the corner and watch all the other kids play with the fun new toys that are bigger and better and shinier than yours.

So? Part of life is learning you don’t always get something just because X, Y, Z has it.
MOBAs have already killed the RTS genre, don’t let them take anything more.
Starcraft didn’t go free for a long time and SC2 sells heroes for PvE
