The thing that keeps bringing me back is my friends group that sometimes tends to play CE.
I did fancy the game before current dev team/leadership took place. I purchased all DLCs on day one but current developers made me into a “freeloader”. I no longer have an interest in purchasing anything or even spending much time in the game if my friends group decides to hop on another multiplayer game.
Just like the majority of my group, I purchased only the first BP and now just ride the “free stuff” wave.
