Sure, I put a lot of time into the game, but that's what we want, right? We don't want to finish the game in a day. That'd be pointless.
I've played other games that literally block progress unless you purchase something.
Another thing to keep in mind, to keep this game going takes a lot of work. Whether you agree or disagree with the work they are doing is moot. The constant tuning, updates, events, new characters, etc. take A LOT of time and effort they should be paid for. With no ad revenue, they need to implement these so-called 'cash grab' events. Otherwise LOTB will be shut down and we will never see Night City. The point is, NF COULD implement ads, or block progress until we pay real money in order to move forward, but they don't.
But then, as the saying goes: 'You can't please everybody.'
