    I stopped playing Rainbox Six Siege many years ago once it was clear that it was a live service game where you effectively had to pay for the new operator each time one came out, as your previous favourite would be nerfed or overshadowed.

      yeah I stopped playing games where you have to pay for new characters (or unlock them by earning the “free” currency, it only takes 100 hours!) 9 out of 10 times, the new character would be completely busted in the sense of balance so if you didn’t but them, you’d fall behind. Pay2Win, but hidden a bit better.

      I stopped when they added more hard breach operators, and then a secondary hard breach gadget (and I think an emp grenade too now?). I remember seeing IQ with a hard breach gadget. So a 3 speed, fast gun, can now hard breach? Anyone can do anything now.
